| dc.description | The capture fisheries and aquaculture sectors are of fundamental importance to the Asia-Pacific region in terms of food security, revenue generation and employment. In many countries, catching or farming aquatic resources forms a vital part of rural people's livelihoods and plays an important role in both the food security and nutritional security of many rural and coastal populations. This publication reviews the current status of inland and marine fisheries resources and their contribution to national economies and food security. Regional fishery data and information stored in FAO databases are analysed to provide a comprehensive picture of production trends of fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region, which is further illustrated by a detailed view of subregions and aquaculture production by species groups. It also touches upon issues that require closer attention in order for fisheries resources to be managed in a sustainable manner. | |
