This article defines low value/trash fish as 'Fish that have a low commercial value by virtue of their low quality, small size or low consumer preference. They are either used for human consumption (often processed or preserved) or used for livestock or fish food, either directly or through reduction to fish meal or fish oil'. Their usage across a sample of countries is compared (Bangladesh, China, India, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam). There is increasing conflict between the use of low value/trash fish for livestock and fish feed and for human consumption. As a result of the expansion of aquaculture and local livestock production, low value/trash fish has a ready market and can be sold easily in many countries. The concern, to both fisheries and aquaculture, is that there is no way of knowing how sustainable this system is. Given the strong interdependency between capture fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia Pacific region, management of these two sub-sectors can no longer be carried out independently.

It aimed at testing a rights-based fishery management approach. The project shows that the potential of local fishers can be developed through participation in fisheries management activities and by their practicing responsible fishing. It has led steadily to the establishment of local fishery institutions for the management of fishery resources and fishing activities, although the pilot project still needs legal backing to come formally into existence.

In particular, a framework has been established for participative coastal fisheries management. The use of customary law (awig-awig) to support fisheries management plans has proved most suitable for Lombok culture. The institutions of KPPL (community management committees) and KKPK (the district fisheries management advisory committee) that have been set up locally have been working very well, showing the importance of involving local communities to achieve sustainable fisheries management.
