Description:	In most parts of the world marine fi sheries have always been the desired source of protein and play a crucial role in maintaining food and economic security. The abundance of marine fi sh and decline of freshwater fi sh, rapid population growth, increase in demand for fi sh, development of urban markets, long distance trade, and introduction of new technologies have all contributed to the expansion of fi shing operations from the 11th century.1 Today, the development of fi sheries continues and the sector has become more globalised than ever—from vessel ownership and control, to the different elements of the fi sheries chain such as fi sh production, processing, transportation, trade and consumption. Increased refrigeration and processing technology enable fi sheries products to reach remote destinations. Fishing vessels are no longer tied to fi shing grounds around a port.2
