    The Future of Tuna-Farming

    The tuna-farming technology was introduced in 1975 to relieve pressure on natural tuna stocks. Wild tuna populations were allowed to regenerate while tuna farmers hold a certain amount of tuna and sell them instead. Tuna-farming is the practice of harvesting wild tuna and rearing them in open pens to be fattened for the markets. The tuna are kept in open sea feedlots and fed with fresh or frozen fish pieces. This essay will discuss the benefits of tuna-farming, and the Precautionary Principle (PP) (United Nations Environment Programme, 1992) will be used to analyse why tuna-farming is not sustainable and to argue that immediate attention is required to prevent irreversible serious damage to the tuna population. The tuna-farming industry reaps high profits and improves many economies, but it has inadvertently worsened the over-exploitation of fishes, and caused water pollution. However, the farming industry does seem hopeful as long as we look into solutions and improve the farming practices.…

    It is estimated that governments around the world give a total of about 30 to 40 billion dollars a year to help fishers keep their businesses running. Such money can help fishers by ships, fuel, and fishing equipment as well as for research and management of fisheries. Yet these subsidies encourage over fishing and the expansion of the fishing industry. This allows for methods to be used that cause overfishing such as trolling nets.…

Any decline in fish catch can make life difficult for the women as it limit supply of fish to the market. Apart from the decline in volume of fish catch, the market for fish and its related industry in Dixcove is shrinking as some of the inhabitants have migrated to the towns and cities (Takoradi and Accra) in search for employment. But the prices of fishes seems to have gone up due to demand is exceeding supply and increase in fishing equipment like fuel, making it difficult for people to purchase. This affects livelihoods of the rural women. They appear to be at the apex in the marginalisation schemata in the oil and gas…
