In many low and middle income countries vulnerability and social exclusion of fisherfolk are major contributors to the 'uncertain environment' in which fisheries are to be rebuilt. Rights-based approaches are seen as essential to rebuilding fisheries by reducing the uncertainty in current fishery access and ownership regimes. This paper argues...
This paper evaluates evidence that fish stocks in Africa's inland waters are climate-driven and cannot be stabilized by conventional fisheries management measures. We draw on published material and our own recent and on-going research in Lake Chad and the East African Great Lakes area to propose that fisherfolk's livelihood strategies...
Fisheries co-management is the institutional model of choice to maintain and rebuild fishery resources in
the small-scale sector. This paper argues that the transfer of regulatory and property rights from the
central state to multi-stakeholder bodies, including resource users, and local government, can only achieve
sectoral efficiency goals - such...
This paper provides summaries of presentations at a special session of IIFET 2012 that explored the potential value of a ‘wellbeing’ approach in small-scale fisheries, drawing on insights from the Governing Small-Scale Fisheries for Wellbeing and Resilience project. The research aimed to apply wellbeing concepts to both better understand fishery...
This session proposes to review and critically discuss the potential for conceptual approaches addressing human and economic development in the context of the fisheries sector. Recent research, informed by a wide range of frameworks in development studies, is greatly increasing our understanding of the lives and livelihoods of fishing people...
Developing country fisheries serve many functions, from feeding the poor, sustaining local communities and providing employment to generating export earnings. Yet, despite their importance, most countries have largely failed to ensure sustainable fishery systems and livelihoods for the millions of people dependent on them. Classically, management has concentrated on the...
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...
The rapid growth of crocodile farming in Cambodia has created a domestic market for snakes as a food supply that operates alongside the international trade of skins and live animals. In times of fish scarcity small-scale fishers living on Tonle Sap Lake participate in what has been shown to be...
Sustained concentrations of active compound were maintained
in vitro and in vivo for an oral and a parenteral dosage form
respectively. The vehicle of a oral dosage form was modified and the
molecular structure of a parenteral dosage form was modified. An oral
dosage form was tested in vitro using...
