Abstract
Illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing is a major contributor to global overfishing, threatening food security, maritime livelihoods, and fisheries sustainability.
An emerging narrative in the literature posits that IUU fishing is associated with additional organized criminal activities, such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, slavery, and
arms smuggling. This paper explores this narrative through a systematic literature review to identify the empirical evidence of the association between illegal fisheries activities and
organized crimes.
