A new conceptualization of sustainability in fisheries is emerging from much broader developments in natural resource management. In its modern form, "resilience" has become a powerful metaphor for sustainable development but advances in theory have yet to be translated into more resilient aquatic ecosystems or better lives for poor fisherfolk...
A lot of efforts through different projects have been made to establish comanagement
mechanisms to manage small scale fishery in Sri Lanka.
Nevertheless, many of such attempts have by now proved to be futile
endeavors. More often than not, such attempts to establish co-management
mechanisms in small scale fishery in...
It is implicitly several economists point out that there is a relation between
remuneration system and the economic performance. However, in my
knowledge, none of them examines how these payments affect on the
economic performance of fisheries. This study is an empirical study
analyses the impact of remuneration system on...
Vietnam is the peninsular country and lying in the area of monsoon tropical climate therefore has very diversify and abundant and valuable fish resources. Since long time ago the fisheries resources in natural water bodies (as in dams, rivers, lake, canals, sea) have been concerned as common property (and is...
Much of fish consumed by the poor are caught by household members and
traded in local markets. These fish trades are rarely or poorly included in
national statistics, and it is therefore difficult to estimate precisely the real
contribution of fish to food and nutrition security. The WorldFish Center
recently...
Fisheries economics theory suggests that weak fishery management
institutions, such as an open access regime, provide the motivation for
fishers to act as if they have infinite discount rates. This theory has serious
implications for the management of small-scale reef based fisheries in
developing countries, many of which are open...
In developing countries the framework for institutional engagement in small-scale fishing communities needs to consider the regional, social, economic and environmental complexities of informal resource-based economies. The combination of socio-economic trajectory of artisanal fisherfolks, their relationship with the environment, the economic pressures and the public policy framework, which often regarded...
