Riassunto

This is the first study of social, economic and technical aspects of aquaculture in Bangladesh. The authors analyse rural society through the trading activities necessary in aquaculture. These insights have practical implications and this book shows how it is possible to build on existing relationships and technologies and facilitate innovative poverty-focused strategies. This study of the fish trading network demonstrates that a preoccupation with high technology 'quick fix' solutions in development may overlook the indigenous problem-solving strategies of local people and documents a particularly striking example.
