    "content": "The ban on 5mm gillnet is not new and was first introduced with the enactment of Fisheries General Regulations of 2001 vide Gazette Notice No.7565 of 2001 and currently in the new Fisheries Management and Development Act, 2016. It captures juvenile fish, which is outlawed, namely Tilapia fish, whose standard length is below 25cm and Nile Perch fish whose total length falls outside the range of 50 to 85 cm. The continual procurement and use of illegal nets by fishers is against the law and cannot be supported. Allowing or compensating the fishers to break the law would lead to depletion of the fisheries resources leading to loss of livelihoods, raw materials for fish processing as well as foreign exchange earnings from export of fish."
