Concern over illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing has led to a number of policy, trade and surveillance measures. While much attention has been given to the impact of IUU regulation on industrial fleets, recognition of the distinct impacts on small-scale fisheries is conspicuously lacking from the policy and research debate. In this paper, we outline three ways in which the application of IUU discourse and regulation undermines small-scale fisheries. First, the mainstream construction of “illegal,” “unreported” and “unregulated” fishing, and also the categorical use of “IUU” in an all-inclusive sense, disregards the diversity, legitimacy and sustainability of small-scale fisheries practices and their governing systems. Second, we explore how the recent trade-related measures to counter IUU fishing mask and reinforce existing inequalities between different sectors and countries, creating an unfair burden on small-scale fisheries and countries who depend on them. Third, as IUU fishing is increasingly approached as “organized crime,” there is a risk of inappropriately targeting small-scale fisheries, at times violently. Reflecting on these three trends, we propose three strategies by which a more sensitive and ultimately more equitable incorporation of small-scale fisheries can be supported in the global fight against IUU fishing.

附带损害？全球打击 IUU 捕捞中的小规模渔业

对非法、未报告和无管制 (IUU) 捕捞的担忧导致了一系列政策、贸易和监督措施。虽然对 IUU 监管对工业船队的影响给予了很多关注，但政策和研究辩论显然缺乏对小规模渔业的明显影响的认识。在本文中，我们概述了 IUU 话语和监管的应用破坏小规模渔业的三种方式。首先，“非法”、“不报告”和“无管制”捕捞的主流建构，以及包罗万象意义上的“IUU”的分类使用，无视小规模渔业实践的多样性、合法性和可持续性。治理系统。第二，我们探讨了最近打击 IUU 捕鱼的贸易相关措施如何掩盖并加剧不同部门和国家之间现有的不平等，从而给小规模渔业和依赖它们的国家造成不公平的负担。第三，随着 IUU 捕捞越来越多地被视为“有组织犯罪”，存在不恰当地针对小型渔业的风险，有时甚至是暴力的。考虑到这三个趋势，我们提出了三个战略，通过这些战略，可以在全球打击 IUU 捕鱼的斗争中支持更敏感、最终更公平地纳入小型渔业。“存在不恰当地瞄准小规模渔业的风险，有时甚至是猛烈的。考虑到这三个趋势，我们提出了三个战略，通过这些战略，可以在全球打击 IUU 捕鱼的斗争中支持更敏感、最终更公平地纳入小型渔业。“存在不恰当地瞄准小规模渔业的风险，有时甚至是猛烈的。考虑到这三个趋势，我们提出了三个战略，通过这些战略，可以在全球打击 IUU 捕鱼的斗争中支持更敏感、最终更公平地纳入小型渔业。
