For many years, researchers have used the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in order to suggest that human behaviour is greatly influenced by people’s preferences and attitudes, social norms, perceived behavioural control and intentions to act (Ajzen, 1991; Armitage and Conner, 2001) [1], [2]. Over the last 20 years, this...

Smallholder fish farming contribute to improved nutrition, incomes and livelihoods of rural
communities. Despite the potential, aquaculture in most rural areas is based on extensive
production systems characterized by low availability in inputs. In Nyaguta, farmers are involved
in agricultural production activities, including fish farming. However, most farmers do not...

The relationship between annual growth in the catches of fishing nations and the quality of the institutions of those nations is analyzed. Catch volumes are used as a proxy for development, since economic performance indicators based on a common set of definitions do not exist. 49 major fishing nations were...
