18 January 2009
A recently-published FAO Fisheries Technical Paper presents the results of a global study on the development and status of shrimp fisheries, with a focus on direct and indirect social, economic and environmental impacts. The Global study of shrimp fisheries, now available online, reviews the current situation, problems and issues, as well as the solutions found and the trade-offs in shrimp fisheries and includes ten country case studies.
