Project to evaluate the techniques used to determine the weight of fish retained on board EU fishing vessels

Combating illegal fishing in the developing world
Fish stocks around the world are under threat from illegal fishing according to a new report by the Marine Resources Assessment Group (MRAG) - see Recent Publications.
Every year at least $4 billion of fish is caught illegally.
Illegal fishing thrives where national governments are weak and where countries fail to meet their international responsibilities. Growing demand and poor controls mean rich pickings for criminals in the waters around developing countries.
The report, commissioned by the UK's Department for International Development (DFID), suggests that small investments would reduce illegal fishing and enable poor countries to benefit from their own resources.
