Abstract

Capture fisheries are the most important contributors to global food and nutritional security, particularly in developing countries. This paper aimed to review the challenges and prospects of capturing fisheries and the ways forwards in developing countries. Throughout the developing world, the fisheries sector provides the basis for millions of people's livelihoods and nutrients, as well as a significant source of foreign exchange for many developing economies. Despite its massive contributions to progress, aquaculture is frequently no longer seen as a priority by policymakers or donor groups, and activities such as aquaculture are frequently viewed as having a low priority for the allocation of scarce resources such as water. This loss of interest in the arena is complicated further by the fact that seize fisheries are currently being fished at capacity, and that additional manufacturing will come from the enlargement of aquaculture. As a result, developing countries have an important role to play, both in managing capture fisheries to avoid inventory depletion and in regulating aquaculture development to ensure that it is environmentally sustainable and pro-poor. Under such conditions, fisheries can realize their full potential as a critical and growing source of economic development in rural areas.
