Fish, fishing, fisheries, and their byproducts all benefit the people and economies of the Pacific in a variety of ways―but the full value of these benefits is not reflected in the region's statistics. The research summarized in this report affirms the importance of the trade to the economies and societies of the Pacific Island countries through quantifiable indicators such as the fishing industry's contribution to national GDPs, employment, production levels, consumption, exports, and imports.
