This paper presents key lessons from development of a transboundary fisheries co-management (TFC) on Lake Chiuta, shared between Malawi and Mozambique. Since the mid-1990s when fisheries co-management was introduced on the Malawian side of the lake, there had been conflicts between fishing communities from both countries. The conflicts mainly centred...
Despite an extensive literature on food-sharing, little attention has been given to the practice in the context of fish harvesting and consumption.

Due to establishment of five international organizations for tuna fisheries, tuna fishing in high seas are consequentially transformed from a time of free competition to a time of cooperative competition on the platforms created by those international organizations. The paper explores the openness, procedures of decision-making, allocation of fishing quotas...
