Fishing in
Timor - Leste
Fish and seafood provide an essential source
of income and nutritious food to many
families in Timor-Leste. 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-Leste, 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,
