The first version of this paper was presented at the Fifth Fisheries Development Donor Consultation, Rome, Italy, 22-24 February 1999.
The paper builds on work published by S. Cunningham and P. Holland in 1997 as: Final Technical Report ODA- funded research project "R1688CA: Policy and Procedural Studies of Investment Options for Fisheries Research." CEMARE, University of Portsmouth.
The views expressed in the report do not necessarily reflect those of either SIFAR or the Food and Agriculture Organization.

The purpose of the paper was, and remains, to stimulate debate and, for this reason, positions taken are somewhat more polemical than might otherwise have been the case. I thank participants at the Consultation for helpful comments on the paper. Thanks are also due to Tim Bostock, Executive Secretary of SIFAR (Support Unit for International Fisheries & Aquatic Research), and to Jean-Paul Troadec, both of whom commented extensively on previous drafts. The errors which remain are mine alone. S. Cunningham |
