Summary

Live reef-fish are a high-income food product in many Asian countries. However supplies are currently threatened from overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices in a number of countries. A key challenge for the future is to identify management arrangements that would effectively constrain fishing effort in many wild-caught fisheries and stamp out unsustainable practices.
