The four-month fishing ban imposed by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources within the Visayan Sea has been assailed by fisherfolk group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamalakaya ng Pilipinas-Negros.

Jo-an Locsin, spokesperson of the group, said the move is dictatorial and a curtailment of the rights of fisherfolk.

Fisheries Administrative Order 167 prohibits fishing activities from November 15, 2007 to March 15, 2008 within a major part of the Visayan Sea for the protection and conservation of sardines, mackerel and herrings.
