("Analysts note Chinese regulations, recently put in place to eradicate government corruption, are diminishing the effects of banquet culture but high-end seafood and pork consumption are continuing to grow overall" due to increased incomes of Chinese)
Note: Research Fellow at the Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (an institute of Australian government; founded in 2005 and based in James Cook University in Queensland) Michael "Fabinyi argues fishing opportunities for people living on islands with poor agricultural potential provide a livelihood for a population that has few other natural resources to draw from. 'The trade in live-fish has been a massively important economic stimulus to local communities,' said Fabinyi. 'Relative to where they were previously, many households have been able to improve their standards of living from assistance-level only to being able to invest in basic-level education for their children, some level of healthcare and material goods that have resulted in the improved standard of living.'”
Not "assistance." It should be "subsistence."
