dc.description.abstract | Gear marking is an important mechanism for regulating legal and illegal fisheries. If a gear is well marked and has sufficient identification and it can be linked to vessel or gear registers. This is evidently a useful tool for enforcement agencies checking on gear set in certain areas (FAO, 2016). There are at present no effective regulations, guidelines or common systems for marking gear in India. The basic purpose of gear marking is to determine ownership and to trace back information regarding the gear. It also enables the state to take effective action against defaulters in case of Abandoned, Lost and Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG). | en_US |
