Traditional fisheries management schemes provide fishermen with incentives to maximise their individual share of the catch, while individual vessel quota management schemes change incentives to maximise profits from their individual share of the catch. The way that one models the fishermen’s optimisation problem in empirical studies should reflect the changed...
Long-term climate regime shifts have profound and persistent impacts on ocean temperature and circulation patterns, and on the dynamics of marine fish populations -- affecting abundance, growth and migratory behavior. Such shifts are a particularly important source of uncertainty for marine fisheries. Here, we argue that climate regime shifts can...

Women in fishing communities play multidimensional roles. Women pervade fisheries and their roles
were identified as workers in both fisheries, markets, processing plants and non-fishery, mothers who
give birth to successors, as caregivers of the family, as connecting agents of social networks, as
representatives of local culture, as community workers...
