It is necessary to evaluate the compliance of local
fisheries with relevant provisions of the FAO Code
of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) which
is an indication of how far the code has been
implemented. The present study focused on applications
of the Code at the grassroot level by local
fisheries m anagement authorities in marine fisheries
of Kerala with reference to guidelines for fishing
operations (Article 8 of FAO CCRF). A question- naire-based approach was used to demonstrate the
compliance with the same. Study on marine
fisheries of Kerala showed compliance on many
areas of Article 8 like documentation of catch and
effort, registration and licensing of fishing vessels,
safety of fishers and insurance coverage. However,
mesh size regulations as per section 4 of Kerala
Marine Fisheries Regulation Act (KMFRA), 1980
were not followed. Other areas where improvement
is required include Monitoring, Control and Surveillance
(MCS), fishing gear selectivity and energy
optimization. An overall 54% score was obtained for
compliance of marine fisheries of Kerala with
Article 8 of the code.
