Description Environmental factors play a major role in controlling the abundance and
distribution of marine organisms. The field of fisheries oceanography can be
said to have started in the 1870s when S. F. Baird, a fisheries biologist and
the first US Fish Commissioner, recognized the important role of the
environment in fluctuations of fish stocks. The development of
multidisciplinary approach initiated in recent times linking physical, chemical,
biological, geological and meteorological aspects has helped substantially to
understand the important oceanic processes and utilise the resources in the
best way possible. The parameters, which have direct relationship with growth,
reproduction, abundance and distribution of marine organisms, are mainly
temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, pollutants, water currents,
transparency etc. All these parameters vary depending on the topography,
latitude, seasons and prevailing atmospheric conditions.
