Changing fish trade practices in Myanmar's rapidly transforming food system
Wholesale markets, wholesalers, and processors play critical but underappreciated roles in shaping food systems. Most conventional research on food provisioning analyzes value chains in terms of their structure, conduct, and performance. We contend that a practices lens can illuminate how food systems are produced and reproduced through the emergence of new wholesale practices relating to quality, trust, and risk, and provide more nuanced underst…
Catch and effort trends in Myanmar’s offshore fleets operating out of Myeik - 2009–2018
This paper analyses catch and effort in the data deficient commercial offshore fisheries of Myanmar’s Tanintharyi Region, using a unique dataset of fish catch landing records. We analyse 26,517 logbook records for five gear types – fish and crab traps, squid and purse seines, and demersal trawls - collected by the Department of Fisheries (DOF) between June 2009 and April 2018. This analysis allows us to assess the impact of evolving management me…
Covid-19 impacts and adaptations in Asia and Africa’s aquatic food value chains
The COVID-19 pandemic is a shock affecting all areas of the global food system. We tracked the impacts of COVID-19 and associated policy responses on the availability and price of aquatic foods and production inputs during 2020, using a high frequency longitudinal survey of 768 respondents in Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Myanmar, Nigeria. We found the following: (1) Aquatic food value chains were severely disrupted but most effects on the availabili…
Interventions for improving the productivity and environmental performance of global aquaculture for future food security
Aquatic foods are increasingly being recognized as having an important role to play in an environmentally sustainable and nutritionally sufficient food system. Proposals for increasing aquatic food production often center around species, environments, and ambitious hi-tech solutions that mainly will benefit the 16% of the global population living in high-income countries. Meanwhile, most aquaculture species and systems suffer from large performan…
Consumption practices in transition
This article explores the reconfigurations of fish consumption practices in Myanmar in a context of rapid urbanization and changing availability of wild and farmed fish. Using a social practice lens, we analyze how everyday fish consumption practices change as people move from the rural Ayeyarwady Delta to Yangon city. We show how these reconfigurations are shaped by new routines in urban areas and the transition from capture fisheries to aquacul…

Domestic Crop Booms, Livelihood Pathways and Nested Transitions
Rapidly transforming Asian food systems are oriented largely towards domestic markets, yet literature on Asian crop booms deals almost exclusively with commodities produced for export. With reference to pangasius aquaculture in Bangladesh, we argue that 'domestic crop booms' - agricultural booms driven by domestic demand - are contributing to rapid social and ecological transformations in Asia and across the globe. We adopt a comparative multi-sc…
Beyond net deficits
Geographers first identified aquaculture as an important field of study during the 1990s, pointing to a 'net deficit' in geographical knowledge about the activity. This paper examines how far geographers have come in bridging this knowledge deficit in the last 20 years. While increasing attention has focused on the political economy of export products consumed in the global North, 'everyday' geographies of aquaculture production and consumption i…
Does Size Matter? Reassessing the Relationship between Aquaculture and Poverty in Bangladesh
Aquaculture has long been promoted by development institutions in Bangladesh on the understanding that it can alleviate poverty. Most of this attention has focused on forms of the activity commonly referred to as ‘small-scale’. This article draws on concepts from the literature on agricultural growth and elaborates a typology of aquaculture based on relations of production which suggests that, in Bangladesh, quasi-capitalist forms of aquaculture …

The Development of Aquaculture in Central Thailand
Expansion of aquaculture in Central Thailand since the 1970s is intimately linked to growth in other sectors of the local and national economy, and to participation in global trade. Thailand's agro-industrialization has led to the diversification of agriculture in the Central Region and the co-development of aquaculture. Production of domestic aqua-products is largely positive for consumers, farmers and the environment. By contrast, intensive pro…
Out of Sight and Out of Mind
In the July–August 2003 issue of Monthly Review (titled "Imperialism Now") a number of compelling articles brought into clear focus the rapidly-emerging reconfiguration of U.S. global domination. As John Bellamy Foster noted in his lead essay, "The New Age of Imperialism," the current reshaping of the world under capitalism is indicative of a "systematic reality arising from the very nature of capitalist development." Within this new systematic d…
