摘要

ICELAND'S SHRINKING FLEET of seine netters has had to cope with the extensive loss of fishing grounds, especially across waters to the north of the country, as well as a deep-seated prejudice against their method of fishing, said Fridrik Halldorsson,spokesman for Iceland's Federation of Seine Netters (Landssamband Dragnotarmanna)."We are also still coping with the fallout of not having had a Minister of Fisheries since fisheries and agriculture were brought under a single ministry," he said.
