Abstract

Freshwater aquatic species are important fishery resources for many countries in Southeast Asia, providing the most needed animal protein for people in marginalized and poor fishing communities thus, contributing to food security especially in rural areas. Southeast Asia is known for its traditional fish products generated by household producers as well as small and medium-sized establishments which are usually family-owned business ventures and operated as backyard industry. Value-adding has been introduced in the fish processing industry to transform lowvalue fishes into various fish products with enhanced economic value in order to increase incomes and subsequently, enhance the socio-economic conditions in rural fishing communities.
