Deep sea fishing to begin from tomorrow
Mangaluru, July 31: The two-month-long ban on deep sea fishing, which was in force to safeguard fishes, will come to an end on July 31. The fishermen, along with their boats, are ready to move to the deep sea to resume the fishing from August 1. Traditional fishing was allowed from the ports despite the ban on deep sea for two months during the breeding season. But, the massive storm and high tides did not yield good results for the traditional fishers. Now, once again the fishermen's mood is towards deep sea fishing. The deep sea fishing will resume in the Karavali from Wednesday onwards.
In all, there are 1,077 motorized boats, including 65 Persians and 1,012 Trawls registered in the district in 2017-18. There are 1,376 engine driven ports and 526 non-automated ports.
61 days’ Ban: The government had imposed a 61-day ban for mechanized fishing as the Monsoon is the time for reproduction of fish species in the coastal region. This will be a high time for the boats to be trapped amid the massive storm and high tides. It is also a time of raising fish species, due to which the government prohibits deep sea fishing in June-July.
Boat Parking Problems: Harbor and Gateways lack the space for the boat parking. The number of boats has increased dramatically in recent days. Shortage of fishermen workers too exist. The third phase of the jetty construction may resolve this problem in the future.
Various fishing ban
The use or installation or operation of surface or submerged artificial lights/LED lights, fish light attractors, or any other light equipment; bull trawling, purse-seining, and gill-netting operations and illegally catching of other fishes have been prohibited. The license of the fishing boat will be cancelled if found fishing in such a prohibited period. The diesel supply will also be stopped to such ships.
According to Karnataka Maritime Fishing (Regulation) Act, 1986; the fine of five times the value of the fish will be collected, said senior officials of the fisheries department in its order issued recently.
