      A A system allowing foreign vessels to transship fish within India's EEZ under bilateral agreements Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B A mother-child vessel model enabling fish caught in the EEZ to be transferred mid-sea for processing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      D A scheme permitting inland fish to be transported via sea routes to reduce logistics costs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E An arrangement enabling fish to be exported from mid-sea directly without touching Indian shores Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The EEZ Rules and Guidelines facilitate mid-sea transshipment through the mother-child vessel model. In this arrangement, smaller fishing vessels (child vessels) transfer their catch to a larger mother vessel at sea, which can then transport the catch to port. The guidelines also provide that fish harvested in the EEZ or High Seas and landed at Indian ports will be treated as Indian Origin and exempted from import duty, while fish landed at foreign ports are treated as exports
