Descripción
Fisheries, including aquaculture, provide a vital source of food, employment, recreation, trade and economic well-being for people throughout the world, both for present and future generations and should therefore be conducted in a responsible manner. Fisheries usually represent a particularly valuable natural resource which make the need for their conservation of it an even higher priority. The Code sets out principles and international standards of behaviour for responsible practices with a vi ew to ensuring the effective conservation and management and development of living aquatic resources, with due respect for the ecosystem and biodiversity. It also recognizes the nutritional, economic, social, environmental and cultural importance of fisheries, as well as the interests of those concerned with the fishery sector, the resource users from fishers throughout the chain to the consumers.
