Abstract

The fisheries of many Asian countries have, over the past few decades, witnessed the proliferation of fishing methods such as bottom trawling for high-value demersal species like shrimp. The Asian region today has arguably the largest concentration of trawlers in the world, and perhaps the largest proportion of marine fish catch coming from these fisheries. The growth of trawling has been accompanied by conflicts—often violent and even fatal—between the trawl and non-trawl sector in many countries of the region, as in India and Indonesia. While the proliferation of bottom trawling has been alarming, no less alarming has been the growth of non-selective methods like purse-seining and push-netting.
