The right to fish carries along with it an obligation to do fishing responsibly which is the
fundamental principle of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (FAO-CCRF).
There exist challenges in implementation of responsible fishing practices globally and
hence appropriate communication, knowledge mobilisation and education across stakeholders
are to be encouraged to achieve effective fisheries management systems. Understanding
the attitude of fishers is important in achieving the goal of conservation and sustainable
use of the oceans, seas and marine resources. Attitude act as the determinant of converting
covert behaviour into overt action. It is rooted in motivation, which provides a meaningful
background for individuals’ overt behaviour. Perspective of fishers with respect to sustainable
fishery systems is an important aspect to be studied in fishery governance. To measure
this psychological construct, we need to use, standardised scales. There is no standardised
scale available for measuring attitude of fishers towards responsible fishing. This paper
discusses the development of Responsible Fishing Attitude (RFA) scale using Likert type
scale development methodology. Conceptual dimensions of responsible fishing were
delineated for attitude statement generation. The final Likert scale was having 13 statements
with moderately high reliability and validity and can be administered to respondents on a
5-point continuum.
