not function. Inland fishing households in
Cambodia get more than 50 percent of their
income from fishing; in the mainstream Mekong
River 20 percent of household income comes from
fishing; in parts of the Zambezi Basin, fish
provides more household income than cattle; in
the Brazilian Amazon, households obtain 30
percent of household income from fishing (FAO,
2010a). Small-scale fisheries in the drylands of
sub-Saharan Africa can be highly productive and
resilient. They may be highly seasonal or even
periodic, but with appropriate investment they
could generate increased income for both fishers
and processors (Kolding et al., 2016). value data on capture fisheries from its Members.
Global inland fisheries production is generally
considered to be underestimated (FAO, 1999b,
2003a; Welcomme, 2011). Thorpe, Zepeda and
Funge-Smith (2018) present a preliminar y,
conser vative estimate of the total use value of
reported global inland finfish as USD 26 billion
for 2015. This fig ure increases to over USD 43
billion if hidden, unreported production and
freshwater molluscs and crustaceans are
included. The global non-market use value of
inland recreational fisheries was estimated to be
USD 65 billion to USD 79 billion (Box 9).
Determining the global value of inland fisheries
remains a challenge, as FAO does not collect Inland fisheries provide benefits towards all four
of the pillars of food securit y. Fish, crustaceans,
