Synopsis (short abstract) During the past two years, the international fisheries community has achieved many important developments, and aquaculture too has received increasing attention. In many countries, international developments have been accompanied by actions aimed at broadening and strengthening fisheries management for the purpose of achieving sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. Results are slow to arrive, particularly in terms of rebuilding stocks or increasing fishers incomes, but this should be no surprise : scientists have warned repeatedly that most heavily exploited stocks will take time to recover if they can do so at all. Patience and perseverance are therefore essential, and fisheries management should foster such attitudes among all those concerned. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture is one of FAOs important contributions in this regard. Its purpose is to provide some of the knowledge required for understanding the fisheries sector.
