Fishy Tales – Observations and Anecdotes from Fishery Development Projects in Asia

 Edward Mallorie

 

Edward is an ICEA member and an agricultural economist. He has spent 50
years working on development projects, mostly in Asia. He also acts as
external reviewer for IFAD’s Asia Pacific region.

 

Fish are an important sector of the rural economy in parts of Asia. In this talk
Edward will discuss issues surrounding project interventions aiming to boost
availability of fish in poor households for purposes of consumption and sale.
While the talk will focus primarily on freshwater fisheries, both captive and
cultivated, in Bangladesh, it will also include examples from other countries
and from marine fisheries.
