Book excerpt: This technical paper focuses primarily on price transmissions in small-scale and large-scale fishery and aquaculture value chains in 14 developed and developing countries. Although the study is focused on the small-scale sector, both the small-scale and large-scale sectors were analyzed in order to demonstrate differences between the two. An additional section focuses on women, summarizing their significant role in fishery and aquaculture value chains in selected countries. This is an important publication reviewing the importance of fisheries and aquaculture to livelihoods, food security and trade as well as the rationale for value chain analysis.
