Abstract

Fish Aggregating Devices (FADS) have proved very successful in the Maldives where there is a countrywide FAD installation programme by the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture (MOFA) underway. MOFA with the assistance of BOBP's regional 'Bioeconomics' project undertook to assess and quantify the impact of FADs in tuna fishing. The project installed two FADs in two separate areas in the Maldives and closely studied the biological, economic and sociological effects of them on the fisheries and on the island communities in the two areas. The effectiveness of the two FADs was measured by comparing data collected one year before and one year after their installation. The results of the study are presented in this book.
