Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-309-03788-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 639 Chasse et pêche commerciales, protection de la faune et la flore Résumé : The future of traditional fisheries will be shaped by the attention given to their special problems and by the recognition of their unique value. Declining stocks of readily accessible fish, competition from industrial fishermen, high operating costs, less than optimal gear and vessels, poor storage and marketing facilities, and little access to credit all tend to limit development for fishermen in the traditional sector. Culturally and economically acceptable technologies can help with some of these problems, but policy changes and interventions must also be part of the assistance strategy. The effort is worthwhile. Traditional fishermen are important contributors to the food supply in developing countries. They currently account for about one-quarter of the world's total fish catch-an estimated 20 million tons of a total of 80 million. Although only about one-fifth of the fish caught in Latin America come from the traditional sector, in Asia these fishermen provide two-thirds of the catch, and in Africa, five-sixths.
