Editorial
Welcome to issue 127 of the
Fisheries Newsletter. This issue features an article by Johann
Bell et al. in which the authors discuss how household income
and expenditure surveys can be modified to help government
monitor, amongst other things, how much fish is being consumed
in rural and urban areas, and how many households use fish for
subsistence.
On a more personal note, this will
be the last Fisheries Newsletter I will produce. I will leave
SPC in June 2009 after more than 20 years of service. My
colleague Aymeric Desurmont (AymericD@spc.int) will be in charge
of producing the newsletter, which will now be published three
times a year instead of four.
Thank you for your interest,
support, contributions and comments during all these years.
Merci!
Jean-Paul Gaudechoux
