The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resource is currently implementing the Fisheries Aggregating Device (FAD) closure and catch retention measures to limit catches of undersized tuna in Solomon Islands.
The two measures were currently imposed as the Ministry recorded an increase on under size catches by fishing vessels.
Director of Fisheries and Marine Resources Edward Honiwala said while his Ministry has no specific regulation to restrict undersized catches, the FAD closure, and the catch retention measures are imposed.
