Fish Piracy Worries FAO
18.04.2002
A third of the fish caught in many of the world most important fisheries are caught illegally, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) have concluded. Such fish do not appear in official statistics and those that catch them threaten the future of the fisheries concerned. They also put at risk those whose livelihoods depend on legitimately caught fish. FAO calls this Fish Piracy.
