ABSTRACT
By express mandate of the Commission for Inland Fisheries of Latin America, at its fifth session (Panama City, June 1988), the Working Party on Fisheries Technology analyzed the socio-economic aspects of the artisanal fishermen of the Region. The Working Party met at the FAO Regional Office in Santiago, Chile, from 7 to 11 May 1990. Experts from seven countries of the Region participated in the meeting and their technical discussions centered on the following specific aspects: 1) types of national fishermen organizations and their role in the management and development of artisanal fisheries; 2) socio-economic requirements of the artisanal fishery communities; 3) opportunities and constraints for the participation of women and youth in artisanal fishery activities; 4) lines of credit for the fishermen and their organizations, and 5) training methods and extension service for the artisanal fishery communities. The Working Party formulated recommendations for each one of these items for the consideration of the Commission.
