| dc.description | The participants in the Workshop recognize that aquaculture is itself an emerging technology. In many developing countries there is no aquaculture sector as yet, or the sector is no more than the extent of an international technical assistance project which is trying to establish its foundations. Consequently, the opportunities for both women and men to participate in aquaculture at all have been restricted. In those countries where an aquaculture sector has been established, women have rapid ly become involved in aquaculture at every level. Not only have they expanded their traditional fisheries roles in marketing, processing, and credit, but they have become active in farming itself (production), and are well established in technological research and education. The degree of participation, however, decreases down the sector towards management, and in many countries women are noticably absent from national management, particularly in aquaculture policy-making and planning - although national management as a whole is a sub-sector of weakness. | |
