Description:The Angolan fishing industry has been severely impaired by the civil war and flight of most of the country's skilled technicians. The catch has fallen from nearly 600,000 metric tons (t) in 1972 to less than 200,000 t in 1975. Angola has extended its fisheries jurisdiction to 200 miles and excluded all foreign fishermen except the Soviets, Cubans,and perhaps some Eastern European nations. The country's own fishermen, because of a lack of vessels and training, however, are currently unable to catch the fish previously caught by the Spanish, Japanese, and other foreign fishermen who operated off Angola. The Central Committee of Angola's Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola has assigned priority to the rebuilding of the country's fishing industry.
