Operational waste, discharge of waste and biological resources overboard is an urgent issue of marine environment pollution. The modern fleet renewal program is more focused on modernization and contribution to deeper processing of products. However, reducing the negative impact of fishing on the aquatic ecosystem is not occurring.

It describes the negative contribution of fishing vessels to the pollution of the waters, which occurs due to irrational use of aquatic biological resources and the associated significant volumes of fish discards overboard.
