The General Directorate of Marine Resources at the Supreme Council for the Environment has announced the lifting of the ban on fishing for kingfish or “chanaad” in the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Effective from today, the ban on displaying and trading kingfish in markets and public places will also be lifted, following the completion of the breeding season, which began with the initial ban announced on August 15.
The Marine Wealth Department of the Supreme Council for the Environment confirmed that the decision to prohibit kingfish fishing was part of the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts to preserve marine wealth.
This action aligns with Decree-Law No. 20 of 2002, which regulates fishing, exploitation, and protection of marine resources.
It also implements recommendations from the Agricultural Cooperation Committee of GCC countries made during its 23rd meeting, emphasising the need for protective measures for kingfish.
