The main objective of this study is to analyze the degree of continuity and stability of shocks to the fishing grounds ecological footprint (FEF) and fishing ground load capacity factor (FLCF) in major Asian fish-producing countries during the years 1961-2024. Asian countries produce more than two-thirds of the world's total fisheries; however, most of them are not in a good position in terms of sustainable fishing indicators. For this purpose, robust second-generation panel unit root tests, including CIPS, PANIC, transformed LM, and Fourier KPSS with sharp and smooth structural breaks, have been used. Empirical results at the whole panel level show that FEF does not exhibit mean-reversion behavior, while the fishing ground load capacity factor (FLCF) exhibits stationary characteristics. Therefore, implementing common policies in the studied countries aimed at reducing the FEF will have a permanent effect. At the country level, the results of the unit root test of the KPSS Fourier panel and CIPS can help policymakers in each country in designing effective policies to increase MEQ. Accordingly, FEF has a unit root in 9 of the 11 countries studied, and government intervention in these countries will be effective in establishing policies that lead to a reduction in FEF.
