Abstract

In his report on the Sharing the Fish Conference 2006 in Fremantle, Australia, (“Who’s sharing the fish?”, SAMUDRA Report No. 43, March 2006), Derek Johnson was shocked by the lack of representation from the South. Why? Overlooking, ignoring or belittling the tropics has always been the norm. Tropical small-scale fisheries are so different from their counterparts in temperate latitudes that it is misleading and dysfunctional to consider them within a common framework. So perhaps it is just as well that they were under-represented at Fremantle.
