Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Spanish and French vessels found fishing illegally in the Indian Ocean have been blacklisted after a key watchdog found them repeat offenders.<\/p>\n

The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) says the vessels were found to have been illegally fishing in the exclusive economic zones of Somalia, Mauritius, India and Mozambique; without the respective permission of these countries.<\/p>\n

A situational report by IOTC, released during the 26th Session in Seychelles says: \u201cFleets such as these cause irreversible damage to our ocean, threatening marine life and the people who depend on it around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was recognised by nations at the IOTC meeting this week, where the several member countries urged the Commission to blacklist the fleet. They catch more yellowfin tuna than any other gear in the Indian Ocean \u2013 with 97 percent of the yellowfin tuna caught around dFADs in the Indian Ocean by purse seiners being juveniles,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

Kenya and South Africa\u2019s aggressive hunt against drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs), such as trawlers, contributed to the decision. Conservationists are increasingly contesting the use of such fishing techniques as the vessels catch more juvenile fish that could contribute to the dissipation of species.<\/p>\n

IOTC, an intergovernmental organisation mandated to guard highly migratory tuna and tuna-like fisheries resources in the Indian Ocean has also been promoting the use of appropriate fishing techniques. The Commission did not name the number of vessels banned but did suggest all those carrying flags from the two countries will no longer be permitted to fish in the zone.<\/p>\n

The Indian Ocean is the second-largest tuna fishery in the world.<\/p>\n
