description Fish is the most frequently consumed animal-source food in Yemen, apart from dairy. Fish consumption is highest in coastal southern Yemen but also very common in southern inland districts. Nine percent of households in coastal southern Yemen earned income from fishing.

Sustaining fish stocks and fishing livelihoods is critical to food security and nutrition in southern Yemen.
