Women are rarely consulted when the state collects information on the fishing sector. This is despite the fact that women are significantly involved in inland fishing, particularly for subsistence, in addition to their work within the household—domestic labour. They have as much experience and local knowledge as the men, although of a different and complementary nature, since they are not involved in industrial fishing and fishing that extends over long periods. In some sectors (subsistence/family fishing, marketing/processing and nutrition/consumption) women often have more knowledge and information than men.
