Question 5

The Kerala government has actively promoted sustainable fishing practices to ensure the long-term health of its marine ecosystems and livelihoods. Which of the following regulatory measures is primarily designed to prevent the overfishing of young fish and allow them to reach reproductive maturity?

Accepted Answer

C. Implementing a minimum legal size (MLS) and minimum mesh size (MMS) for commercially important fish species. — Implementing a Minimum Legal Size (MLS) directly prevents the capture and sale of fish before they reach a certain size, allowing them to grow and reproduce. Similarly, Minimum Mesh Size (MMS) for fishing nets ensures that smaller, immature fish can escape, preventing their premature capture. While a closed season (B) is also a conservation measure, its primary aim is often to protect breeding populations or during adverse weather, whereas MLS and MMS are specifically targeted at protecting juvenile fish. Options A and D relate to fishing technology or location, not directly to the protection
