Fishing ban in DK, Udupi districts

Our Bureau

Mangalore , July 11

THE Karnataka Government has asked fishermen, who go in for multi-day deep-sea fishing on August 3, to return to the harbour only after August 10.

In a notification here, the Additional Secretary of Department of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries said that the Government has imposed a 57-day fishing ban in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts from June 15 to August 10. Officials of the Fisheries Department said that ban on fishing is imposed, as fishes breed during the period. Fishermen are allowed to venture into the sea on August 3 for multi-day fishing with the condition that they will return to the harbour with fish catch only after August 10.

The Government has imposed a 45-day fishing ban in Uttara Kannada district from June 15 to July 29. During the ban period, fishermen in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts are allowed to use engines below 25 HP for towing their boats. The engines should not be used for catching fish. Those who violate the conditions will be denied of the Government benefits to fishermen, the notification added.
