Collectively, smallscale fishers and fish traders are responsible for harvesting and distributing local fisheries products all around the country. In all coastal municipalities, fishing with lines and nets from paddle canoes or small motorised boats is carried out to catch a variety of fish, including short-bodied mackerels, mackerel scads, sardines, halfbeaks, fusiliers, unicornfish and others. In some locations, fishers work in small groups to deploy rumpon or fish aggregating devices (FADs) – traditionally made from bamboo and palm fronds – to attract schools of small and medium pelagic fish. Other fishing activities are carried out without boats, such as diving and spearfishing on nearshore reefs, and shore-based fishing with cast nets, handlines and handheld nets. Gleaning – collecting fish, crabs and octopus, as well as seaweed and seagrass, on exposed rocky reefs at low tide – is another important fishing activity carried out for both household food and income. Both men and women are involved in fisheries activities in Timor-<strong>Leste</strong>, both directly and indirectly. Most boat-based fishers are men, while gleaning activities are carried out predominantly by women and children. Women also support their fisher fathers, husbands and brothers by helping to launch boats, fix nets and sort catches as well as cooking meals and looking after children. Both men and women are involved in selling fish. Fish are sold in coastal villages on the roadside to passing travellers or taken from house to house on foot or by bicycle. Larger catches are transported to town centres and district capitals, including inland areas, Cooking fish and seafood in Timor - <strong>Leste</strong> 1
