| NOTES: |
Traditional Pacific societies used wild animals for food and those living along coasts supplemented their diets with finish, dugongs, shellfish, cetaceans and turtles. |
| NOTES: |
In most cases, however, the harvesting of fish and mammals was secondary to the staple agricultural crops that provided the mainstay of the islanders'diet. |
| NOTES: |
As a result of "unsufruct" rights, Melanesian societies, for example, laid claim to claim to certain resources, species, or hunting/fishing techniques, thus limiting access and providing an intentional "conservation regime." |
