This chapter discusses how capture fisheries and aquaculture contribute to water productivity. The writing team invites people interested to take part in the preparation of the chapter. Go to CA forum - fisheries.
Key messages
The analysis of capture fisheries and aquaculture systems can be distilled into four main messages:
1. fish and water productivity?
There is not enough recognition of the current and potential contribution of fish and fisheries (and other living aquatic resources) to water productivity

4. If the full potential of those experiences is to be realized and applied more widely, new valuation techniques, investment approaches and governance arrangements are required.
- Research and technical support still needed for IAA
- Urgent need for more comprehensive valuation techniques that integrate all the different dimensions of aquatic resources contribution to water productivity
- Appropriate framework for investment in fish contribution to water productivity (private, public partnership, privatization of extension services, Feed formulation policy in aquaculture, etc
- New governance approaches for water management from local to basin levels (devolution, decentralization, co-management, IWRM experiences)
- Much more concrete action and policy support for prevention and management of climate variability, climate change (e.g. sea level change) and natural disaster and their impact on coastal (fishing) communities (e.g. Tsunami) (Cross cutting issues with Chapters on Scenarios and climate change)
