Wild fish populations are currently experiencing unprecedented pressures, which are projected to intensify in the coming decades. Developing a thorough understanding of the influences of both biotic and abiotic factors on fish populations is a salient issue in contemporary fish conservation and management. During the 50th Anniversary Symposium of The Fisheries Society of the British Isles at the University of Exeter, UK, in July 2017, scientists from diverse research backgrounds gathered to discuss key topics under the broad umbrella of 'Understanding Fish Populations'. Below, the output of one such discussion group is detailed, focusing on tools used to investigate natural fish populations. Five main groups of approaches were identified: tagging and telemetry; molecular tools; survey tools; statistical and modelling tools; tissue analyses. The appraisal covered current challenges and potential solutions for each of these topics. In addition, three key themes were identified as applicable across all tool-based applications. These included data management, public engagement, and fisheries policy and governance. The continued innovation of tools and capacity to integrate interdisciplinary approaches into the future assessment and management of fish populations is highlighted as an important focus for the next 50 years of fisheries research.
野生鱼类种群目前正面临前所未有的压力，预计在未来几十年还会加剧。全面了解生物和非生物因素对鱼类种群的影响，是当代鱼类保护和管理中的一个突出问题。2017年7月，在英国埃克塞特大学举行的不列颠群岛渔业协会第50周年研讨会上，来自不同研究背景的科学家齐聚一堂，讨论“了解鱼类种群”这一广泛主题下的关键议题。以下详细介绍了其中一个讨论小组的成果，重点是用于调查自然鱼类种群的工具。确定了五种主要的方法：标记和遥测；分子工具；调查工具；统计和建模工具；组织分析。评估涵盖了这些主题各自面临的当前挑战和潜在解决方案。此外，还确定了适用于所有基于工具的应用的三个关键主题。这些主题包括数据管理、公众参与以及渔业政策与治理。工具的持续创新以及将跨学科方法整合到未来鱼类种群评估和管理中的能力，被强调为未来50年渔业研究的一个重要重点。
