This was stated to inaugurate the work of the national consultation meeting on the project "Management of bycatch of trawl fisheries in Latin America and the Caribbean".
The FAO established a Code of Conduct for best fishing practices and gave Mexico an award for its actions in the development of this activity to limit unwanted catch.
For years researchers from INAPESCA have worked on the design of new types of fishing gear, nets and gates which prevent bycatch.
