Note: Missing Page 60. === Despite the generally underdeveloped state of tropical countries, only in recent years, as a result of the agitation by frustrated peoples and the rivalry between two dominant ideologies, has there been any real effort to improve conditions by investigation into and modernisation of various aspects of economic life. Tropical fisheries have not been neglected, though these have not generally been one of the first activities to be considered. Based on this work, a general assessment of these fisheries, including the factors influencing their nature and their development, and the possible trend of future advances, has been undertaken and an attempt is made to fit the Barbados Fishery into the general pattern.
