Seafood marketing is becoming one of the major occupations for women in Fiji and other Pacific Island countries. As home keepers or home budgeters, women have transferred skills associated with home budgeting and planning to assist in their seafood marketing activities. Marketing is not just sitting at the market beside a pile of shellfish or a string of fish. It is hard work and involves post harvest or preservation skills, plus a series of networks and processes to get the products to the market. A decade ago, Ram (1993), pointed out that, “planners have assumed that it is only the men who are seriously involved in all aspects of the fishing industry, while women basically fish to feed the family and are responsible for housekeeping and children, thus women become the ‘invisible fisher folk’ who do not appear in the statistics of island countries”.
