Challenges and Solutions for Sustainability in Fisheries: Perspectives from Environmental Economics and Game Theory

This study describes the findings from a literature review concerning the ecosystem and economic services of fishery resources, aiming to explain the challenges posed by overfishing in managing common-pool resources.Statistical data on the global fishing situation and Mexico's participation in a global context are presented, helping us understand the study's relevance from an economic aspect and opening the way for how researchers address fisheries sustainability issues.A total of 443 research articles classified by categories were analyzed for the period from 2014 to 2024, sourced from the Science Direct database, with the objective of recognizing the historical context and trends in fishery resource management.VOSviewer was used for keyword analysis and Scopus for querying the most cited authors.It was found that there is a complex network of strategies related to fishery management, but transferable capture quotas, community governance, and game theory are the most frequently used tools to achieve sustainable fishing.
