Abstract

. The volume of the sea fish catch in the Republic of Ireland increased by 16 times in the period 1950‐82. Influences contributing to development included active promotion by a State agency, government funding, fleet expansion, growth in the labor force, establishment of processing, and development of domestic and export markets.Fish landings became more concentrated in the major ports and along the less developed west coast. Fishery expansion is now curtailed by resource problems. These are partly the result of pressures exerted by foreign fleets, now within the context of the European Economic Community (EEC). Internal conflicts have arisen through competition between Irish fishermen for scarcer resources. The major needs in this new phase of the industry are for restructuring of the fleet, exploitation of new stocks, resource conservation, development of mariculture, more advanced processing and marketing, and comprehensive policy formulation.
