Fisheries Legislation

Any productive industry will record only a stunted growth or perish soon, if proper planning, organization and control do not exist. This is more relevant for the fishing and aquaculture industry, which deals with aquatic resources, which are not only hidden, mobile, migratory, renewable and sensitive living resources of common property nature, involving high degree of risks and uncertainty but also highly perishable after exploitation, warranting costly harvest and post-harvest technology. Fisheries Legislation is always based upon the scientific principles to find out ways and means to protect the fish and fisheries, so that assured harvest is possible in sustainable manner.

The present book has been written for the students of fisheries science. It is also helpful for the research personnel and the persons involved in fishing, fish farming, manufactures & exporters of fish and fishery products.
