Abstract

The aim of this paper is to define the trends of the development of the fisheries sector in the least developed countries (LDC) and their role in the world fisheries in the years 1970–2015. The research shows that the development trend of the LDC fishery sector has been favorable, as evidenced by the high dynamics of fish production, consumption and trade, the growing positive trade balance in fish products, and the international competitive advantage of the fishery sector. Despite the increase in global fisheries, the role of the LDC in this area of the world economy was relatively small. The main obstacles to the development of the fisheries sector in many LDCs were: unfavorable natural conditions, low levels of economic development and scarcity of labor and capital.
