Abstract

Over the last two decades, women's contribution to the subsistence and artisanal fisheries sectors in the Pacific has increasingly gained recognition. Contributions include not only subsistence but also smallscale, village-based commercial activities. Chapman (1987) showed that the total fishing yield supplied by women fishers is 32% in American Samoa and between 25 and 50% in the Gulf of Papua New Guinea. In Fiji Islands, invertebrate sales averaged 2000 tonnes, worth FJD 4.5 million, over a three-year period. Salt- and freshwater clams, which are exclusively harvested and marketed by women, comprise about 48% of this volume (The Women in Fisheries Network, www.wifn.org.fj, 11 June 2002).
