metadata.value: Fish-related trade disputes dealt with by the World Trade Organization (WTO) arise from
  the complexity of the fisheries industry, and the transboundary nature of fish, combined with
  differing national policies and interests. The Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS) aims to
  strengthen the role of the WTO in regulating the fish trade and curbing unsustainable fishing
  practices such as illegal fishing, overcapacity, and overfishing by limiting excessive fisheries
  subsidies. This article reveals the legal framework of the WTO to regulate the fish trade and
  resolve trade disputes and outlines the prospects for fish trade in light of the Agreement on
  Fisheries Subsidies (AFS). It has been established that general principles, quantitative restrictions,
  and anti-dumping measures, rather than subsidies, are the most common legal issues
  in trade disputes on fish products. Technical trade barriers, sanitary and phytosanitary measures,
  and general national exemptions are also frequent sources of disputes in the fish trade.
  These measures, designed for safety, health, and environmental reasons, are increasingly used
  for protectionist purposes by creating trade barriers. The AFS expands the legal framework
  for resolving trade disputes in the field of fish trade after its ratification. However, this recent
  international regulation combined with climate change and tightening food standards, is expected
  to lead to more disputes with developing countries over the fish trade.
