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).
