| Summary: | There has been increasing concern amongst the scientific community and those responsible for the management of the Antarctic krill fishery that the harvesting of this species will soon increase to unprecedented levels. This concern has been prompted by numerous factors including, but not limited to, increased and diversified participation in the fishery, advances in technology, the rapid decline of global fish stocks and an ever-increasing global population. This study examined the development and current management of the fishery for Antarctic knIt (Euphausia superba) in the Southern Ocean with a view to identifying and recommending possible future management strategies to deal with new directions in the industry. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources aims to manage the krill fishery in line with its precautionary and ecosystem based approach to management In order to fulfil its objectives and allow for orderly development of the fishery, it is necessary for it to be kept ... |
