Description

Mountains cover about one-fifth of the world's land surface and are home to one-tenth of the world's population. They provide livelihood to some of the poorest communities in the world as mountain lakes and streams are a source of freshwater for countless riparian human communities, support industries, provide water for irrigation and hydropower electricity production and for fish. This publication reviews the current status of capture fisheries and aquaculture in mountains of developing countries of Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Pacific.
