Benefits Of Fishing Gear Dryden Ontario Canada Restrictions

By Harold King


People have different ways of making a living. The state in which these people are living makes sure that they protect the source of livelihood for their citizens through various limitations. Some people rely on fish to make a living but with the current changes in technology, some fishermen have been suffering and fish stocks have been affected. However, the enacting of fishing gear Dryden Ontario Canada restrictions has helped a lot due to some of the following reasons.

The first benefit of these restrictions is that the fishermen who use traditional methods of fishing have been protected from those using sophisticated technology to catch fish. Most of the traditional fishermen use rods and nets that only catch the mature fish and are only capable of catching a small amount of fish. But if those using technology to fish can continue, the other fishermen will suffer.

Over piscary is a major problem that is facing the fish industry. To solve the problem, the relevant authorities and government are restricting the use of tackles to protect some rare species from becoming extinct due to the catching of excess fish such that the young ones are not even allowed to multiply. By allowing only those kits that are friendlier, fish existence is not threatened since they will continue multiplying.

Additionally, it helps sustain employment levels. When there are restrictions on how to fish, no party will have an advantage over the other in terms of what they make from fish. Those using technology and those using the traditional methods can both continue with their work hence no job loss.

Countries that allow people to overfish within a few years will have drained all their sources of fish. It means that the income they used to get from fish will be no more, hence reduced revenue. But those who restrict gear usage protect their fisheries such that as years go by, fish population increases and this leads to increased incomes hence the growth of the economy. Again, more job opportunities will be created.

In a market, the sellers with more products dictate market prices. The same will apply in the fisheries industry, those using technology to fish harvest large amounts of fish and when they get to the market, even when they sell at a low cost they will not incur losses. Those who suffer most are the small-scale fishermen because they make losses. But with the government intervention, a surplus will not be available hence the prices for fish will be competitive.

Also, gear restrictions help a lot to limit fish mortality. Most methods used to catch fish in some areas cause their death, especially the young ones. But with some methods being prohibited in some areas, the mortality rate significantly reduces hence increasing fish population. In the long run, there will be increased revenue from this activity.

Finally, it is good to note that when conditions for harvesting fish are favorable, fish will continue to multiply, and more people will join the industry as either fishermen or traders. Consumers will access fish easily at low rates and exports will improve.
