Dominica Fishery Profile
Dominica Fishery Profile
(FAO)
The Dominica fishing industry is small-scale and of an artisan nature. The fishing fleet has increased from only 913 vessels in 1994 to more than 1100 in 2000. There has been a marked transition from the traditional dugout canoes to the more advanced keelboats and most recently, to the fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) vessels.
