Abstract

Expressing concern over juvenile fishing of sharks and manta rays, scientists, experts and fishermen in a meeting today emphasised on the need to curb the practice of unsustainable fishing of endangered marine resources. Speaking at a stakeholders' meeting of fishermen, traders, exporters and scientists organised by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), longline fisheries expressed their willingness to impose a strict ban on juvenile fishing. They also offered support to work for maintaining the sustainability of fishery resources in participatory mode. Government agencies and scientific community should work together to completely avoid juvenile fishing of sharks and manta rays species, the meet stated.
