Abstract

The concept of Responsible Fisheries can be considered as a set of guidelines for ensuring sustainable utilization of fisheries resources of the world. In that sense, it is synonymous with the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF). The Code is often referred to as the Bible of Global Fisheries Management. The CCRF is an international policy instrument for fisheries management. This was developed and released by Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) functioning under the United Nations on 31 October 1995. The code was developed after a series of international deliberations that began in 1992. More than 160 countries, including India are signatories to this international instrument. The Code is considered as a landmark document symbolizing the international consensus achieved on the necessity for providing guidelines to ensure. The most salient feature of this global instrument is its voluntary nature.
