    Small-scale fisheries and fisheries related activities make an important contribution to the nutrition, food security and sustainable livelihoods of people in many countries, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. In the Mekong Delta region alone, more than 15 million people are estimated to depend on fisheries activities on a daily basis, either for income, employment or food supply. The majority of these people live in rural (often remote) areas, with poor standards of living, and are unable t o influence their operating constraints. Small-scale fisheries have tended to receive little attention from policy-makers despite their significant contribution to food security. Systematic research support to improve understanding of their functioning, governance, and human and resource benefits has been lacking. This publication identifies some of the major issues affecting small-scale fisheries and provides a research agenda for addressing them. Consideration is also given to the means by whi ch the gap between research and action can be bridged.
