An emphasis on sustainable marine fish production has paved the way for the enactment of Marine Fisheries Regulation Acts and subsequent regulations in India. A closed season ban on fishing has been one of the very few successful regulatory measures since its introduction in 2001 in Tamil Nadu. Since 2017, the fishing ban period has been extended from 45 to 60 days for the east coast of India, for ecosystem‐based marine fisheries management. This study analyses the socioeconomic impacts of change in the fishing ban (closed season) across the four coastal zones of Tamil Nadu. For the past 10 years, CPUE has been stable or increased marginally. Among the four coasts, the relative change in employment and labour income loss was highest for Palk Bay (36.84%). Transaction costs of implementation of the ban caused an additional expense of Rs 496.5 million to the Government in 2017 and the overall total labour income loss has leaped from Rs 1,638.2 to 2,100.2 million due to the extension of the ban. The fishing ban has aided in the recovery of habitat and regeneration of stock through recruitment. Training and capacity building on alternative livelihood options are highly recommended to enable the workers to cope with the ban period.

以代价实现可持续性：对泰米尔纳德邦渔民生计“延长”捕捞禁令的初步分析

对可持续海洋鱼类生产的重视为印度颁布海洋渔业监管法案和随后的法规铺平了道路。自 2001 年在泰米尔纳德邦推出以来，禁渔期禁令一直是为数不多的成功监管措施之一。自 2017 年以来，印度东海岸的禁渔期已从 45 天延长至 60 天，以进行基于生态系统的海洋渔业管理。本研究分析了泰米尔纳德邦四个沿海地区禁渔令（禁渔期）变化对社会经济的影响。在过去的 10 年中，CPUE 一直保持稳定或略有增加。在四大海岸中，保克湾就业和劳动收入损失的相对变化最高（36.84%）。实施禁令的交易成本造成了 496 卢比的额外费用。2017 年向政府提供了 500 万美元，由于禁令的延长，总劳动收入损失从 1,638.2 卢比跃升至 2,100.2 百万卢比。捕捞禁令有助于通过招募恢复栖息地和种群再生。强烈建议进行有关替代生计选择的培训和能力建设，以使工人能够应对禁令期。
