PAKISTAN
Monday, March 11, 2024

PESHAWAR: Omar Hayat Khan, an expert on the fisheries and aquaculture, has called for conducting a study to achieve the goals of sustainable fisheries and improve an effective governance tool.

Talking to this scribe, he said that this study should examine the qualitatively the costs and benefits of alternative module of transparency, including hypothetical fully transparent system.

It should also highlight how potential costs and benefits of greater transparency depend on both governance context and management goals and identify opportunities for further research to address key information gaps in the sub sector of fisheries management.

He said that fisheries and aquaculture sub-sector of agriculture have been progressing in improving its management but face challenges to sustainability including depletion of its fish stock in the natural water bodies due to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing

The main issue is that fisheries staff cannot monitor who is fishing or where fishing is occurring; their scope for management interventions is limited.

This lack of transparency in spatial fishing activity is considered a key enabler of illegal fishing and over-fishing and hinders proper management of the natural resource. To increase transparency in location tracking is gaining momentum as a promising way to improve the management of fisheries resources.[...]

Other Media | FishFarmer: Investments worth £2bn remain on hold, says Norwegian salmon sector

NORWAY
Monday, March 11, 2024

Seafood Norway says the report shows that the situation is pretty much unchanged one year after the salmon tax was introduced, and that frustration around the tax is still just as great.
