Abstract

Small-scale fisheries (SSF), which account for at least 40% of the world’s total fish production, have been a major source of animal protein, income and employment for many peoples in the developing countries including the Southeast Asian region. In fact, fish constitutes more than 50% of the total animal protein intake of many peoples in developing countries where more than 2.5 billion people rely on fish for their dietary protein requirements. Considering that about 60% of the total food fish production is provided by the developing countries, fisheries therefore, particularly the SSF, play a vital role in ensuring food security in these countries. Despite the importance of SSF in terms of poverty alleviation and economic development particularly in the Southeast Asian region, it has not been given much attention in many regional and international instruments. Issues that concern SSF for example, have not been given much focus in the global Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) and in other related instruments.
