Abstract

We live in an increasingly interdependent world. Trade, aid agreements, capital flows and migration of people between countries and from continent to continent, between North and South, are becoming more and more intensive. The fishery sector is particularly subject to such growing interdependence. In order to make up for the depletion of certain fish stocks in northern waters, industrial fleets are looking more and more to harvest the richer fishing grounds belonging to tropical countries. They sign lucrative contracts with their governments, which enable them to supply the markets of Europe, the USA or Japan with high quality products at relatively low cost. In return, the countries that own the fishery resources receive financial compensation and technical aid or training. However, it must be said that this counterpart is usually neither a fair deal nor in keeping with the receiving country’s needs.
