Abstract
  • There has been a structural shift in the global supply, demand and trade in fish and fisheries products since the early 1980s that has shattered the traditional dominance of the developed nations. Despite a declining trend in the global exports of primary products, the percentage contribution of fish has been increasing. Principal beneficiaries of the increase in fish exports are the developing countries in the tropics. This paper reviews the structural changes in the global fisheries trade, discusses the driving forces in the increase in supply of and demand for fish and fish products, and the economic and environmental implications to the fish exporting developing nations. The paper also raises issues relating to poverty and long-term food security of the poor people in the fish exporting countries.
