Distant water fishing (DWF) vessels of several nations have for centuries travelled vast distances, roaming the ocean to harvest its fisheries. As early as 1575, vessels from France, Portugal and Great Britain were fishing for cod in the productive fishing grounds of North America (Bonfil et al., 1998). In 1609, the Dutch international lawyer Hugo Grotius published the book Mare Liberum (or The Freedom of the Seas),5 stating that the sea was free to all, whether for navigation or for fisheries.
