Based on research undertaken as part of the UK's ODA's North
Western Fisheries Project, this is a study of social, economic and
technical aspects of aquaculture in Bangladesh.;The book covers
three main themes. First, instead of trying to understand rural
society via the different sets of actors involved in agricultural
production, the authors analyze rural society through the trading
activities necessary in aquaculture.;Second, these insights have
practical implicatoins and this work shows how it is possible to
build on existing relationships and technologies, and facilitate
innovative poverty-focused strategies. One such initiative, the
"fry trader extension strategy" is documented.;Finally, the 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.
