Details of illegal tickets issued by the Kuwaiti Fishery Protection Authority from 2000 to 2017.

the Kuwaiti FPA issued 9,755 for illegal fishing during a period of 16 years. This is an average of 609.7 illegal fishing incidents recorded every year, which seems excessive, but given that most fisher interviewees said they rarely see FPA vessels at sea, and all the illegal fisher interviewees said they had never been caught by the authorities, the number of IUU fishing incidents that the FPA did not report is likely to have been substantial. This shortfall of the FPA is partly explained by its prioritization of safety at sea over fishery monitoring. the total number of tickets issued for IUU fishing between 2001 and 2017 was 9,755, meaning that the FPA issued an average of 573.8 tickets per year, which is three tickets every two days. The proportion of IUU offenses committed by immigrant fishers was 53%, and by Kuwaiti fishers was 45%.科威特渔业保护局（Fisheries Protection Authority, FPA）在16年的周期内，针对非法捕捞行为共开出9755张罚单。经计算，年均记录非法捕捞事件达609.7起，这一数值看似偏高；但多数受访渔民称极少在海上见到FPA执法船，且所有受访的非法捕捞渔民均表示从未被执法部门抓获，可见FPA未上报的非法、未报告和无管制捕捞（Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated, IUU）事件数量可能相当可观。FPA的这一履职缺口，部分源于其将海上安全置于渔业监管之上的优先级设定。 2001年至2017年间，FPA针对IUU捕捞开具的罚单总数为9755张，即年均开出573.8张罚单，相当于每两天开出3张。其中外籍渔民实施的IUU违规行为占比53%，科威特籍渔民占比45%。
