The Namibian Hake Association has dismissed claims that the hake sector is being mismanaged and decisions are not made in a transparent manner, reported The Namibian.

The claims are carried in a 10-page report jointly compiled by Carola Kirchner, a former Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources specialist and Anthony Leiman. It also claims the stock is over-exploited and quota allocation system is questionable.

Published as part of the Maritime Studies website, the report titled 'Resource rents and resource management policies in Namibia's post-independence hake fishery' was released in July this year with financial support from the Confederation of the Namibian Fishing Association.
