Abstract
Catches from sea fishing have been declining as a result of over-fishing and because of national and international measures to preserve remaining fish resources. This has been particularly marked in the Northern Hemisphere and, to cushion the adjustment burden, has lead governments in many OECD countries to provide financial support to the fishing industry.
