A stock assessment carried out by the fisheries ministry over the past year has yielded mixed results as some fish stocks show growth while others are still in a precarious state.

This was highlighted by fisheries minister Derek Klazen during his annual address to the fishing industry at Walvis Bay on Friday.

"The scientific survey conducted in March 2022 has indicated that the stock has declined drastically. The size of the fish has been decreasing over the past five decades, and catches of the midwater fishery are now continuously made up of relatively smaller fish in size," Klazen explained. "The spawning stock biomass was found to be insignificant. As you may be aware, the ministry has imposed a moratorium on this stock, and will continue its research programmes to monitor it closely and reopen the fishery once the stock has recovered to a biologically-sustainable level," Klazen stated.
