Synopsis (short abstract) As in the past, future fisheries policy in Papua New Guinea will be required to respond to: the perceived needs within the country, and obligations for Papua New Guinea arising from international developments. The National Fisheries Authority (fonnerly the Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources), has historically taken the lead role in developing domestic fisheries policy. It has not done this unilaterally, regularly calling on the expertise and assistance available in other departments wi thin the Papua New Guinea public service and, more recently, with the fishing industry.

    This document serves to provide a brief and simplified outline of previous aquaculture and inland fisheries activities within Papua New Guinea (PNG). The present analysis of previous attempts to develop aquaculture and freshwater fisheries is made in order to identify the factors behind the success and failure of previous projects and fishery activities. This is highly relevant to the Sepik River Fish Stock Enhancement Project because previous experiences relate to the rationale for stocking and indicate problems and successes arising through alternative options (other than stocking) for developing this fishery. This document discusses all previous inland fisheries and marine and freshwater aquaculture activities in PNG, including areas outside of the Sepik (and Ramu) River basins.

    The commercial development of small-scale coastal fisheries has been viewed as a means of generating rural earnings and other social and economic benefits and has been a Government target in PNG for nearly 45 years. During this period a large public-sector fisheries service has become established which aims to promote, manage and regulate PNG's fisheries. Via this service, numerous programmes, some of which have been very large and ambitious, have been put in place to encourage the commercial de velopment of small-scale fisheries in rural areas.
