Namah called for swift and urgent government intervention after the media reported the laying off of 5,000 workers at the Majestic Seafood processing plant in Lae two weeks ago due to "lack of fish".
Earlier this year, it was reported that RD Tuna in Madang also laid off hundreds of workers at its processing plant for the same reason.
Both Majestic Seafood and RD Tuna are foreign owned companies given license to operate in the country.
Their processing facilities are among six fish loining and canning plants that currently operate in the country.
