Description

In 2009, inland fisheries produced some 10 million tonnes of fish.

Despite their importance to rural communities, especially in the least-developed countries, little attention has been paid to this sector in recent years.

As a result, there is a deficit in management of the fisheries and also an increasing threat to freshwater by a number of non-fishery users of the aquatic resource.

As part of an effort to raise awareness of the problems facing inland fisheries and to examine more closely the various issues, this document reviews four of the world's best-documented inland fisheries: the Amazon, Lake Constance, the Mekong and Lake Victoria.
