DOCUMENTARY AND BENEFIT OF FISHERY IN THE SOCIETY
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background if the study
Despite the significant contributions that fisheries and aquaculture make to employment, nutrition, and trade in the developing world, they are rarely included in national development policy and donor priorities. This is largely due to problems with valuation of small-scale fisheries, as policy makers often do not have access to data which reflect the importance of fisheries and aquaculture to development.
The stagnation or decline of capture fishery production in many parts of the world under- scores the importance of fisheries policy, however, as the current state of stocks can be at least partially attributed to the difficulties of regulating fisheries and preventing their overexploitation. Even with improvements in regulation, however, pressures on capture fisheries will remain, due to continued population growth. Further development of sustainable aquaculture and improvements in the post-harvest sector to reduce losses could help to maintain fish supply and the contribution of fish to development.
While data on fisheries in developing countries are often patchy1, it is nevertheless possible to identify trends in the importance of fisheries and aquaculture for developing countries, particularly in the areas of employment, consumption, and trade.
Employment in fishing and aquaculture has grown rapidly over the past few decades, increasing more than threefold from 13 million people in 1970 to over 41 million in 2004 (Figure 1). Employment in the fisheries sector has grown more rapidly than both world population and employment in agriculture. Most of this growth is in Asia, where over 85 percent of the world’s fisherfolk live, and is largely due to the expansion of aquaculture in this period (FAO 2006, FAO 1999).
While the number of people employed in fisheries and aquaculture in developing countries has been growing steadily, it has been stagnant or declining in most industrialised countries. This decline has been most pronounced in capture fisheries, while employment in aquaculture has increased in some industrialised countries.
Millions of women in developing countries are employed in fisheries and aquaculture, participating at all stages in both commercial and artisanal fisheries, though most heavily in fish processing and marketing. In capture fisheries, women are commonly involved in making and repairing nets, baskets and pots, baiting hooks, setting traps and nets, fishing from small boats
1. Though many countries collect data on commercial marine fisheries and on fish exports, catches by artisanal and part-time or occasional fisherfolk often go unrecorded. The status of inland fisheries is also much more difficult to assess than marine fisheries, as fishing is often practiced in remote locations by poor small-scale fishers who target a wide range of species using several types of gear, and whose catches are rarely disaggregated by species if recorded at all. Data on fisheries in developing countries therefore often underestimate the numbers of people who depend on fisheries for their livelihoods and diets, and the actual contribution of fisheries to development is likely to be higher than is reflected in statistics.
1980 and 1990 are from FAO (1999), while data from 2000 and 2004 are from FAO (2006), and therefore may not be perfectly comparable.
and canoes, and collecting seaweed, bivalves, molluscs and pearls. They are rarely involved in commercial offshore and deep-water fishing. In aquaculture, women feed and harvest fish, attend to fish ponds, and collect fingerlings and prawn larvae. Women play a major role in fish processing in many parts of the world, both using traditional preservation methods and working in commercial processing plants.
In addition to affecting food supply, the status of fish stocks in capture fisheries is likely to threat- en the livelihoods of small-scale fisherfolk and traditional fish processors as competition for limited resources increases. Larger-scale operators with greater access to capital and gear are already emerging in many areas, leading to changes in the structure and location of post-harvest activities and concentrating ownership and control of resources. In India, for example, fishing practices are changing with rising investment, and higher levels of mechanisation and motorisation are leading to greater centralisation of landings and competition over the catch. In the past, small-scale traders were able to purchase fish from local fishers at decentralised beach-based landings, some- times accessing fish through husbands or taking the fish on credit and paying once they had sold it. The increasing centralisation of landings, however, has led to fierce competition at landing sites, favouring those with greater access to credit and infrastructure and marginalising traditional fish processors and petty traders (FAO 2007).
Data on fisheries in developing countries often do not fully account for artisanal and subsistence production, as the magnitude of the landings of these fisheries is not generally known by the responsible fisheries administration. It seems clear, however, that capture fisheries worldwide are currently being fished at or near capacity, and that further growth in fish production will come primarily from aquaculture. FAO (2006) estimates that marine capture fisheries production will remain between 80 and 90 million tons per year, and freshwater fisheries, which face environmental degradation and competition for use of freshwater resources from other sectors such as hydropower and agriculture, are unlikely to expand significantly either.
Per capita fish supply in low-income fooddeficit countries (LIFDCs) (excluding China) has increased from 5.0 to 8.3 kg since 1960, due primarily to the growth of aquaculture and to increased production from inland capture fisheries in developing countries (FAO 2007). In sub- Saharan Africa, however, per capita fish supply is declining, dropping from a peak of 9.9 kg in 1982 to 7.6 kg in 2003. This is due to rapid population growth, stagnant capture fishery production, and the slow expansion of aquaculture in the region (FAO 2006).
Demand for fish continues to increase in most of the world – in line with population growth as well as increases in consumption of animal protein associated with urbanisation and rising incomes. In developed countries, demand for high-value carnivorous species such as salmon and shrimp has also increased, largely due to income growth and urbanisation, as well as a shift in preferences away from red meat and towards fisheries products (Delgado, Wada, Rosegrant, Meijer and Ahmed 2003).
A large portion of fish production is destined for export, around 40 percent of global production being traded internationally, and exports from developing countries accounting for some 60 percent of this (see Ababouch, this volume). They are now net exporters of fish to developed countries, having shifted dramatically from being net importers (over 1.2 million metric tons in 1985) over the past two decades (Delgado et al. 2003).
1.2 Statement of the problem
Small-scale fisheries and aquaculture make critical contributions to development in the areas of employment, with over 41 million people worldwide, the vast majority of whom live in developing countries, working in fish production; food security and nutrition, with fish constituting an important source of nutrients for the poor and often being the cheapest form of animal protein; and trade, with a third of fishery commodity production in developing countries destined for export.
With most capture fisheries worldwide considered fully exploited or overexploited, aquaculture will be central to meeting fish demand, which will continue to increase with population growth, rising incomes and increasing urbanisation. As aquaculture develops, however, governments will need to manage its potential ecological and social impacts. African aquaculture, which has grown much more slowly than in other regions, faces numerous challenges, including resource conflicts and difficulties in accessing credit, quality seed and feed, and information. Also key to meeting growing demand will be improvements in postharvest processing to reduce fish losses.
Both fisheries and aquaculture are often neg- lected in national development policy and donor priorities, as policy makers often do not have access to data which reflect the importance of fisheries and aquaculture to development. Appropriate policies and regulation remain important, however, both in managing capture fisheries and ensuring that aquaculture development is pro-poor and sustainable.

1.6 Definition of terms
Fishery: Fishery can mean either the enterprise of raising or harvesting fish and other aquatic life; or more commonly, the site where such enterprise takes place
Aquaculture:
Aquaculture (less commonly spelled aquiculture[1]), also known as aquafarming, is the controlled cultivation (“farming”) of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks, algae and other organisms of value such as aquatic plants (e.g. lotus)
Documentary:
A documentary film or documentary is a non-fictional motion-picture intended to “document reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, education or maintaining a historical record”.[1] Bill Nichols has characterized the documentary in terms of “a filmmaking practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception [that remains] a practice without clear boundaries”
