The security of world fish supply from wild fisheries and from aquaculture is an increasing concern due to dwindling yields from wild catch and undesirable ecological impacts of aquaculture. The extent to which aquaculture can substitute for fish from wild catch will depend on the productivity of aquaculture, which in...

In British Columbia “co-management agreements” are improving the sustainable management of many commercial fisheries. While some fisheries have fairly extensive co-management agreements which outline cost recovery, joint and separate roles and responsibilities for enforcement, science, and management, most do not. There are a number of important factors which have limited...
The community based for the fisheries resources management project (CO-FISH-Project) in Bengkalis is a coastal development project to improve the living standard of coastal community in this region. Over all project activities including resources and ecology assessments, social economy assessment, establishment of suitable fisheries resources management, community based fisheries resources...
People’s participation in development efforts is to create sense of awareness and involvement, increase level of aspiration, and mobilize local resources for productive purposes.
