Ecosystem Considerations for Managing Marine Fisheries in the Indian Ocean
Fisheries management approach of several countries, including those in the Indian Ocean region, has been generally on a species-to-species basis. It has been realized now that this approach has severe limitations, especially for the tropical, multispecies fisheries. While the understanding that fish and other living aquatic living resources are integral part of their ecosystems is not new, this idea has not been put into practice in managing stocks, especially for the marine fish. Reshaping the management strategies by involving all the stakeholders in such an ecosystem approach is expected to yield short-term and long-term benefits
