Description Although policies can be critical constraining or enabling factors for aquatic food systems (AqFS)
development, scarce evaluation of the impacts of existing policies means that decision-makers
have limited understanding of how to improve the design and implementation of effective policies.
This paper reviews key policy issues in AqFS and how they have been analyzed and assessed to
provide context-tailored policy options and guidance. Our review shows that countries face many
policy issues but have little analysis on them. Despite the availability of a wide variety of
frameworks, concepts, tools, methods, and approaches, their application in empirical analysis to
solve policy issues in AqFS has been limited. More research is available on local- and communitylevel governance of fisheries, but less on national or subnational policies and regulations in AqFS.
The few available policy studies focus on developed countries, with fewer applications in
developing countries where growth of the aquaculture and fisheries sectors is much stronger. The
studies provide useful policy options and guidance, and this review highlights the need for more
such studies to address policy-related issues in the sector.
