consumption in Timor-<strong>Leste</strong> is low compared<br />
with neighbouring countries. While Timorese<br />
people generally like eating fish, it can be<br />
expensive for families to buy and is often<br />
unavailable, particularly in inland rural areas.<br />
Aquaculture can assist to fill this gap between<br />
demand and supply, particularly in areas far<br />
away from the coast where it can be difficult<br />
to buy fresh fish from the sea. Farming fish,<br />
such as fast-growing tilapia, is a developing<br />
industry in Timor-<strong>Leste</strong>. With improved access<br />
to fingerlings, more households are taking up<br />
fish farming activities, increasing both family<br />
fish consumption and income.<br />
As the country develops and household wealth<br />
increases, as people become more aware of<br />
the nutritional benefits of eating fish and as<br />
more fish are available through improved<br />
supply chains and increased production,<br />
it is hoped that more Timorese people will<br />
choose to regularly consume fish and other<br />
seafood. This will not only improve health and<br />
nutrition, but also support and strengthen the<br />
livelihoods of the many fisher, fish trader and<br />
fish farmer households around the country.<br />
