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 />
