A nice resource from the BBC could form the basis of a new wall display for your department on development economics.

The Indian seafood industry is under threat after demand from the US and Europe has fallen. Demand for Black Tiger shrimps known as the dollar crop has plummeted (this variety of shrimps accounts for half of India’s seafood exports to the US). Fishing ports along the east Indian coast are felling the effects. Trawlers and their crews are are now looking for alternative forms of employment. Amazingly there are 10 million Indians employed in the seafood exporting sector. There is clearly much at stake.
