Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet sets out the findings of a research project to define the current status of utilization of small pelagic fish (those fast-growing species usually reaching maturity within a year) in Asia and assesses competing demands on the resource, so that appropriate strategies for future development of the fishery could be determined. The background to the fisheries, the current landings and usage (mainly human consumption and fishmeal) and trade within and outside Asia is detailed. Although exploitation was found to be a complex issue with much variation between countries, conclusions and recommendations are outlined for future research into ways in which low-income groups could continue their involvement in the trade, and how the overall impact of trading policies might affect them.
