Book (stand-alone)Inland capture fishery statistics of Southeast Asia: current status and information needs 2002
Also available in:
No results found.Inland fisheries play a key role in meeting the livelihood and food security needs of millions of rural households in Southeast Asia, yet do not receive the attention they deserve from national policy makers. A major reason is the lack of reliable information and statistics about the sector compared to marine fisheries and aquaculture. Such statistics provide the basis for opinion, policy, planning and management decisions, “even among those who recognize the weaknesses of the statistics”. This has led to a significant undervaluing of inland capture fisheries and has implications for the relative attention and investment it receives. This document provides a regional overview of statistics collection and reporting methods used, sources of error in the official statistics and other constraints to data collection, and recommends strategies for improving these. A second section reviews the current state of inland capture fisheries statistics in the eight countries that were reviewed. -
