Contribution of Fishing to Households' Economy - Evidence From Fisher-Farmer Communities in Congo

Creator:: Béné, Christophe
Abstract:: Small-scale fisheries in developing countries have often been perceived as a low-productivity, backward informal sector. As a result they are rarely considered as a possible entry point in poverty reduction and rural development planning. Data collected in Democratic Republic of Congo show that this perception may not reflect the empirical...

Assessing Vulnerability to Poverty in Fishing Communities

Creator:: Béné, Christophe
Abstract:: In this paper we develop an index of economic vulnerability which we use conjointly with a more conventional measure of income poverty to explore the different dimensions of poverty (transient, chronic, vulnerability) that affect fishing communities in developing countries. We illustrate the potential uses of this method with cross-sectoral data...

Global Change in African Fish Trade: Engine of Development or Threat to Local Food Security?

Creator:: Béné, Christophe and Lawton, Rebecca
Abstract:: Today fish is the most traded food commodity in the World. This situation is not without generating potential issues. On the one hand, fish trade is said to support economic growth processes in developing countries by providing an important source of cash revenue. On the other hand, fish trade is...

Assessing the Contributions Derived from Capture Fisheries from a Wellbeing Perspective: Methodological and Policy Implications

Creator:: Arthur, Robert, Friend, Richard, and Béné, Christophe
Abstract:: Capture fisheries can potentially provide a wide range of social benefits, many of which make important contributions to local livelihoods and national economies. However, in practice, and in many representations of fisheries, the starting point for assessment is the biological, fish, element of the system and its production potential. The benefits...

Investigating the dynamic relationships between wild shrimp and cultured shrimp prices

Creator:: Cadren, Muriel, Béne, Christophe, and Lantz, Frédéric
Abstract:: The arrival in the 1980s of cultured shrimp has induced large changes on the World shrimp market. In this new environment, the French Guyana fishery production now competes strongly with some of these farm-produced shrimp. Consequently, this fishery has experienced serious export problems during the last decade. This paper is...

Linking Wellbeing and Resilience to Improve Fishery Governance

Creator:: Armitage, Derek, Bene, Christophe, Charles, Anthony, Johnson, Derek, and Allison, Edward
Abstract:: Transdisciplinary approaches and innovative combinations of social and ecological theory are required to deal with complexity and change in fisheries and other human-ecological systems. This paper examines the interplay and complementarities that emerge by linking resilience and social wellbeing approaches to better understand and govern fisheries. After first discussing the...

Searching for viable exploitation within small scale fisheries; the case of Solomon Islands

Creator:: Hardy, Pierre-Yves, Doyen, Luc, Bene, Christophe, and Schwarz, Anne-Maree
Abstract:: The sustainable management of small-scale fisheries in coral reef ecosystems constitutes a difficult objective especially because these fisheries usually face several stringent pressures including demographic growth and climate changes. The implications are crucial in term of food security as fish represents the major protein source for local populations in those...

Evaluating Livelihood Strategies and the Role of Inland Fisheries in Rural Development and Poverty Alleviation: The Case of the Yaéré Floodplain in North Cameroon

Creator:: Béné, Christophe, Mindjimba, Koané, Belal, Emma, and Jolley, Tom
Abstract:: It is usually assumed that most, if not all, small scale fishing communities, particularly in tropical countries, represents the poorest and most disadvantaged part of rural societies. As a result, these populations have been targeted for poverty alleviation by fisheries development programmes since the early 60's. Unfortunately many of these...

Structural Equation Modelling of Wellbeing: A Case of Fishers in the Western Region of Ghana

Creator:: Onumah, Edward Ebo, Ocran, Joseph, Alhassan, Ramatu, Béné, Christophe, McGregor, Allister, and Mills, David
Abstract:: This paper considers social wellbeing in the context of three dimensions; material conditions, quality of life, and sustainability dimensions to explore the key factors that affect the wellbeing of fishers in the Western Region of Ghana using 119 respondents. The study first considers descriptive analysis to assess the correlation between...
