Nonetheless, these very nations have not recognized the gravity of these problems sufficiently enough to deal with them with alacrity. In the last decade of the 20th century, according to press reports, about 200 fishermen were shot dead in the region, and hundreds injured. Since 1998, about 1,600 fishermen have been arrested and detained. While death by firing was mainly confined to the waters between India and Sri Lanka, arrests and detention have been re- ported from all over the Indian Ocean Region. Egyptians arrested by Eritrea; Eritreans by Yemen, Sri Lankans by Somalia, Seychelles, Maldives and India; Indians by Somalia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Mal- dives and Bangladesh; Pakistanis by Iran and India; Burmese by Bangladesh and India; Thais by India, Bangladesh and Myanmar; Indonesians by India and Australia—thus from the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea, from the Bay of Bengal to the Indian Ocean, there are hundreds of cases of fishermen being arrested and detained for un- dertaking fishing activities or for just being found drifting in the waters of other nations. Many incidents are reported from coun- tries with adjacent maritime zones, mostly between countries that are economically poor. It was the heart-rending stories of arrested fishermen, whose only crime was to fish for a livelihood, the total denial of even nat- ural justice, and the plight of their families that prompted the In- ternational Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) to think of organizing a conference to highlight these issues. Thus was born the Indian Ocean Conference, titled Forging Unity: Coastal Commu- nities and the Indian Ocean’s Future, held at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, Chennai between 9 and 13 October 2001. We conceived the conference as a forum for representatives of fishworker organizations, governments, the academic community, and other non- governmental and multilateral organizations to sit together and discuss the transboundary problems of fishworkers of the Indian Ocean Region, so as to come up with solutions. The final goal was to arrive at a Vision Statement that would put forth con- crete proposals to influence governments in addressing such dis- tressing problems. From an Indian Ocean perspective, we also realized, while plan- ning the conference, that the region had sufficient fisheries resources that could be equitably shared amongst the riparian States using se- lective fishing techniques and small-scale fisheries. We, finally, de- cided to maintain a broader focus and discuss not only transbound- ary issues but also other issues that concerned the coastal fishing communities of the region. ix It took us four years to organize the conference. During this period, the idea of the conference went through several revisions. There were several debates on whether or not the conference should address only fisheries issues. Although historically an important ocean, we realized that, in the post-colonial era, there has been very little contact between the riparian communities of the Indian Ocean Region. We thus considered the conference as an important oppor- tunity to explore the idea of an ‘Indian Ocean community’ by bring- ing together representatives from all frontiers of the Indian Ocean (with the exception of the Middle East). In this sense, the confer- ence was unique, as it attracted people from all around the Indian Ocean, from East Africa to Southeast Asia, and from the southern small island States in the Indian Ocean to South Asia. In organizing the conference, we sought the collaboration of the International Ocean Institute (IOI), which focuses on the peaceful and sustainable use of the oceans and its resources, through opera- tional centres in Asia and Africa. The late Professor Elisabeth Mann Borgese, Founder, IOI, was to inaugurate the conference. In the af- termath of the unfortunate war in Afghanistan, she was unable to inaugurate the conference since she apprehended disruptions in air travel to India from Europe. We were also unsure how many of the invited participants would finally attend the conference, but, to our surprise, all invited participants, except two, were able to partici- pate. This publication, the Proceedings of the Indian Ocean Confer- ence, is dedicated to the memory of two distinguished persons: Elis- abeth Mann Borgese, a pioneer in international legislation to pro- tect the world’s oceans, who passed away on 8 February 2002, and Maizan Hassan Maniku from Maldives, a member of ICSF and a marine scientist who passionately believed in the idea of an Indian Ocean community, who passed away on 13 July 2002. Sebastian Mathew International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) 28 January 2003 x Foreword It is said that 60 per cent of the world’s population lives within 60 km of the coastline and that this figure would increase to 75 per cent within the next decade or two. Even if these figures are off the mark, the fact remains that there is a steady movement of the popu- lation towards the coast. At the same time, there is also a continuing depletion of the natural resources of the coastal zone and the coastal waters.

It is also rich in fish diversity in terms of varied groups ranging from cyprinids to salmonids. Rainbow trout farming has tremendous potential for augmentation of livelihood security of hill people, and it is being widely expanded, and the technology is widely adopted by the farmers of the state. It will prove to be a successful venture to increase the coldwater fish production for enhancing the profitability of the hill farmers of the region. There are certain issues which has tremendously been affecting the rainbow trout farming. Therefore, it is needed to be dealt with suitable technological interventions along with adoption of policies for it sustainable growth and farming. Researchable issues have to be given stress, especially in development of low cost feed with locally available ingredients, quality seed production and best management practices for trout farming.

  • Small-Scale Fisheries Transition to Sustainable and Responsible Fishing in India - a Micro Level Study
    IIFET 2010 Montpellier Proceedings SMALL-SCALE FISHERIES TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FISHING IN INDIA - A MICRO LEVEL STUDY PAZHANI KANTHIAH T.D.M.N.S.COLLEGE T.KALLIKULAM [email protected] ABSTRACT Small-scale fisheries play an important role in generating employment, income and livelihood to the fisherfolk. It constitutes 81 per cent of the total fisheries sector in India. But, this sector remains neglected and the fisherfolk are socially and economically backward. Even after six decades of planned development nearly 62 per cent of the fisherfolk families do not possess crafts. Resource constraints coupled with absence of fishing and other related infrastructures in most of the fishing villages compel fishermen households to migrate to earn their livelihood. Migrant fishermen formed a new village and follow simple method of fishing, which are eco-friendly, economical in the use of fuel and gears. Their responsible fishing is useful for fishing without any by-catches and wastage of marine resources. With this theoretical background, this paper is framed in such a way to analyze the factors that contribute to the transition of small-scale fisheries to sustainable and responsible fishing in Tamil Nadu, India. Factors which hamper small-scale fisheries development have been discussed. The main focus of the study is on the impact of fishermen migration on the socio-economic status of migrants and also the sustainability of fishing operations without class conflict. Policy implications emerging in the light of the findings of the study are also given briefly. Keywords: Small-scale fisheries, responsible fishing, sustainable fishing In recent years, world fisheries have become a market-driven, dynamically developing sector of the food industry.

  • Vol. 22 - Comoros
    Marubeni Research Institute 2016/09/02 Sub -Saharan Report Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the focal regions of Global Challenge 2015. These reports are by Mr. Kenshi Tsunemine, an expatriate employee working in Johannesburg with a view across the region. Vol. 22 - Comoros June 10, 2016 It was well known that Marilyn Monroe wore Chanel No. 5 perfume when she went to bed. Did you know that Chanel No. 5’s essence (essential oils) comes from the flower called ylang-ylang, which is found in the African country of Comoros? Comoros is also where the so-called “living fossils”, a rare pre-historic species of fish called coelacanths, discovered in 1938 in South Africa after having thought to be extinct, are mostly found. So this time I would like to introduce the country of Comoros, fascinating like Marilyn Monroe and a little mysterious like the coelacanths. Table 1: Comoros Country Information The Union of the Comoros is an archipelago island nation located off the coast of East Africa east of Mozambique and northwest from Madagascar. 4 main islands make up the Comoros archipelago, Grande Comore, Moheli, Anjouan and Mayotte, with Grande Comore, Moheli, and Anjouan forming the Union of Comoros and Mayotte falling under French jurisdiction as an ‘overseas department” or region. The population of the 3 islands making up the Union of the Comoros is about 800,000, while their total land area comes to 2,236 square kilometers, about the same land size as Tokyo, which makes it quite a small country. Nominal GDP is roughly $600 million, which is second from the bottom among the 45 sub-Saharan African countries, just above Sao Tome and Principe, and its population is the 5th lowest (note 1).

It is administrated by France though sovereignty over some or all of the Islands is contested by Madagascar, Mauritius, and the Comoros. None of the islands has ever had a permanent population. Fig. 3 - S1 (08.12.2014) - Europa Island at high tide. It is the southernmost island of the group. 2D view In Madagascar, the question of national sovereignty remains sensitive in public opinion. Especially when it comes to litigation with the former colonial power. The claim of the Scattered Islands is therefore the subject of a broad consensus. French side, even if the subject is more unknown, however, there has always been reluctance to give up any territory whatsoever. In a similar case, the co-management agreement of Tromelin Island with Mauritius, dated 2010, is still blocked in the National Assembly.

  • On the Use of Different Natural Baits for Sea-Fishing in India
    On the use of different natural baits for sea-fishing in India Item Type article Authors Balasubramanyan, R. Download date 28/09/2021 03:31:56 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/1834/31978 Fishery Technology Vol: I No. I. 1964 ON THE USE OF DIFFERENT NATURAL BAITS FOR SEA-=FISHING IN INDIA R. BALASUBRAMANYAN, Research Officer, Central Institute of Fisheries Technology, Cochin. [Rod and line, hand-line, trolling-line, and fish-traps are the different types of fishing gears wherein suitable fish baits are employed with a view to luring the catch. The coastal fishermen of India mostly use different types of natural fish-baits to catch fishes like Perches, Carangids, Sciaenids, Scombroids and Elasmobranchs. The reactions of the fishes caught to the different baits used are quite varied. Successful line fishing operations very much dep­ end on the fish-baits. A detailed record of the variety of fishes caught, types of fishing and different baits used by the coastal fishermen of India has been made.] The fundamental principles involved in commercial sea-fishing can be broadly classified under three major heads vi'z. Attacking, Snaring and Luring. The last two types of fishing alone accounts for the maximum of the total fish production from the seas. While snaring the fish-stock mo­ ving in a shoal or school with suitable designs of nets is by far the most widely practised form of fishing in India, luring the fish with a view to entic­ ing them to enter a trapping contriva nee or to bite a hook is equally popular with the coastal fishermen.
