overfishing
Use of poisons and explosives alters water
Chemistry and destroy not only fish but
Other aquatic organisms including fish feeds
Prohibition of the use of explosives, noxious
Or poisonous substances including fishing with
Electricity is not only necessary but must
Be enforced
Some species of fish perform seasonal breeding
Migration during which they are caught in large
Quantities making spawning impossible
Declaration of a closed and open seasons or areas
Are necessary to protect breeding and nursery
Grounds and to allow over-fished stock to recover
Poverty is a driving factor to catch fish of any size
Including juveniles as a result enforcing gear
Restriction such as imposition of minimum mesh
Size of nets is very important
Limitless fishing effort is another way which hasten
The exhaustion of resources if left uncontrolled
Therefore there must be control and regulation of
Fishing activities through issuing of licenses
To determine limit of total effort for any particular
Body of water
Sustained development and exploitation of fish
Resources depend on the maintenance of a balance
Between the rate of fish harvest and the regenerative
Capacity of the fish stocks
Upsetting this balance in favor of the former will result
In over-fishing and its attendant adverse economic and
Social consequencies to fish resources, fishermen and
The world population who need fish as a source of protein.
