Description

Argentina launched its first fisheries ecology survey on 18 February 1949. Marine biologists studied fish populations along the Patagonian coast. The project gathered data on reproduction cycles, seasonal movements, and habitat needs. Its findings guided sustainable fishing policies. The survey improved understanding of marine ecosystems in the South Atlantic. It also informed future conservation programs. The initiative was a major step in marine science research.
