With most of its population residing in coastal areas and within the mega Delta of the Ayeyarwady River, Myanmar depends on its fisheries as a critical source of food, employment, and revenue. The country notably ranks among the top 10 global fish producers. Beyond productivity figures, which have been increasingly questioned, Myanmar encompasses a broad range of aquatic systems, impressive fish biodiversity, and a correspondingly rich cultural diversity. Yet much of that wealth remains either undocumented or not easily accessible.
