Expiscor: v. /ek.spi.skɔːr/ – The latin word expiscor means to fish out, to find out, or to discover. It seemed like an appropriate name for this blog, which will offer my personal reflections on fisheries and aquaculture and how research can help improve their role in improving people’s lives.
Aimed at both development professionals and the general reader, each article will tackle a current or controversial topic, that I hope will inform readers and stimulate debate. Please feel free to provide feedback on this web forum or write to me directly expiscor@worldfishcenter.org.
There will be about 10 articles per year – all of them written by me, and critiqued by one or more colleagues. I hope you enjoy them and perhaps even find them useful.
Sincerely,
Stephen Hall, Director General.
The WorldFish Center
