Abstract
The low level of awareness of
fishermen on pollution problems and their
reluctance to follow and adopt the hygienic
practices could be reduced by conducting
sufficient onshore pollution abatement
programmes and training and demonstration
on onboard hygienic handling. Once the
fishermen are assured of getting higher
prices for their fish catch they will readily
come forward to adopt any practices even
if they have to incur additional costs. This
is more evident by the large scale adoption
of Global Positioning System by the present
generation fishermen. Hence it is imperative
of all other stakeholders to encourage
fishermen to change their attitude towardsfisheries resources and development measures
to the present trend
