Abstract

China has the world’s largest fisheries sector. The sector contributes to poverty alleviation, food security and economic growth, and generates employment and livelihood. Fish is also a significant source of animal protein for Chinese people. Though women form an important part of the fisheries workforce and participate in almost all activities, including aquaculture, fish sorting, handling and processing, distribution and marketing, their contributions are often overlooked and poorly documented.
