Inland fisheries evolution and management
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 the 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 various 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 Mekong, the Amazon, Lake Constance and Lake Victoria. These represent two lake fisheries and two river fisheries drawn from a wide geographical sample – Africa, Asia, South America and Europe
