👉 In marine biology and fisheries management, "overfish" refers to a fish species that has been intentionally caught or harvested in excess of its natural population. This can occur for various reasons such as economic interests, research, or conservation efforts. Overfishing can have significant negative impacts on the ecosystem's balance, leading to declines in biomass, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. It is important to manage fisheries sustainably to prevent further overfishing and ensure that resources are conserved for future generations.
