Abstract

In much of the developing world, the rural poor have traditionally depended on various varieties of small indigenous freshwater fish species (SIFFS) to meet their nutritional needs. SIFFS—defined as those fish species that grow to a maximum length of 25 cm—are easily available and accessible from nearby water bodies. In India, for instance, they contribute to a significant share of the freshwater fish production in the eastern and northeastern States.
