Abstract
Small-scale fishing and fish-farming are currently one of the most important sources of human food because almost all countries tend to control natural water resources at a national level and the fishing communities are aware of the economic potential of these activities. At the present time, new bases for the organisation and rational use of fishery resources are being planned, to revise the strategies and policies taking into account previous experience, and planning for the future in relation to production factors such as the boats, fishing methods and gear, training of fishermen and research capacities. Assistance is also being given in terms of fishery planning, organisation and aid for the development of small-scale fishing, aid for fish-farming, for international trade in fish and the promotion of fishing as a solution for the provision of food.
