The article above highlights the significance of the fishing industry in India and also points out instances of lack of regulation and supervision over fishing practices. It also prompts consumers to be up to date with what sources their purchased fish comes from. However, in many markets, a deterrent to this is the lack of readily available information on the specifics of the particular fish, for example, has the fishery been MSC certified, and some more specific details about the catch. What could be some methods by which such information can be made available to the consumer and as consumers, what part do we have to play to ensure that sustainable fishing practices are employed ?
