Advantages 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.

One of the advantages of the limits is that it has provided temporary protection to fishermen who view the activity as a way of life. These people do not rely on fishing technology but use the ancient methods which makes it tricky for them to compete with large companies that are employing technology. The ancient tackles only catch a few fish and only the mature ones, but the modern methods catch large numbers both mature and young hence the need for protection.

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.

Some gears when used to fish cause a lot of deaths even for the young fish. The government has come in to reduce these deaths by banning the use of some tackles of approaches of catching fish in certain places. When deaths are reduced, fish increase in numbers which means more income.

Lastly, buyers can get to purchase fish at a low price in the local market in the future. When fish grows and multiplies, the numbers will increase in the market and this will lead to a surplus. The cost of fish will go down and exports will increase, which is an advantage to the economy.
