Abstract

There's an estimated 1 million industrial vessel fishing the world's ocean. Many of these ships are high efficient in away that they find, catch and processed fish. This ships are extremely wasteful of marine resources, and each year they dumb million tonnes of fish, ships and prawns and other non-target species back into the ocean. Around the world fish stocks are collapsing and spices are not given enough time to replenish their numbers. In fact the the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has concluded that the 70% of the world's fish stocks are either fully exploited, over exploited, depleted or under the protection of the recovery programs.
