Abstract:

Small-scale recreational and artisanal fisheries are popular activities in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, and to date no information is available on their impact on regional coastal ecosystems. Through fishers’ surveys and official registers of fish landings, we described and characterized these fisheries in Madeira, comparing artisanal and recreational fisheries. In 2017, artisanal boats landed 91 species in fishing ports, while recreational catches landed 58 species. The most frequent catches were Dentex gibbosus, Phycis phycis and Pagrus pagrus for artisanal fishery and P. pagrus, Serranus atricauda and Diplodus spp. for recreational fishery. Comparing the same techniques, artisanal fishery always showed higher catch per unit effort values than recreational boat fishery. Nevertheless, the low number of artisanal fishery boats in comparison with the recreational ones reflected the lower total landings of the artisanal fishery, which in 2017 were 62.3 t, compared with the 509.8 t estimated catches for the recreational fishery. Though the estimated recreational fishing data were based on surveys and thus subject to various biases, this activity seems to negatively affect coastal ecosystems and, together with artisanal fishing, exerts a combined pressure on targeted species. Improved legislation for both fisheries is essential for an appropriate management of resources.

Abstract:

Abstract The official data on recreational and artisanal fisheries in Croatia and Hungary were analysed. The data from Croatia relates to the entire Croatian section of the Danube River and to the section of the Sava River along the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The data from Hungary covers 60 km of the Danube River north of the Croatian border. Absolute catches in kilograms, as well as CPUE (kg per fisherman per year) by both groups in all three river sections varied from year to year without dramatic changes. Fishing with nets, artisanal fishermen differ from the anglers in two major ways: they are less selective and they catch bigger specimens. According to the official data, the existing ratio between recreational and artisanal fishermen in these three river sections does not negatively affect each other’s or overall fishing. Therefore, a conclusion can be drawn that medium-intensive artisanal fisheries qualify to co-exist with recreational fisheries.

Abstract:

Artisanal fisheries are the subject of a growing interest in the conservation community. It is considered as a less harmful extractive activity in many multiple-use marine protected areas (MPAs)s. However, only a few of these MPAs have been able to successfully combine their nature conservation objectives with those of managing artisanal fisheries in a sustainable manner. In many cases, the artisanal fishing activity and the communities related to it have been barely involved in the management of MPAs, which has led to sometimes tense situations between fishermen and MPA managers. This work takes the example of the future marine protected area "Jbel Moussa", located in northern Morocco just off the Strait of Gibraltar, where artisanal fishing is one of the main local activities. A survey was conducted between July and November 2022 and targeted the future stakeholders of the marine protected area. Knowing already the point of view of the artisanal fishermen of Jbel Moussa from previous works, this survey has served to clarify the perspective of the future managers of the protected area, in order to take stock of all that is planned in terms of the general management of the site and artisanal fisheries, but also to determine if there is a real communication between each stakeholder category. After analysis, the results of the survey showed some shortcomings in communication between the different categories of actors interviewed, but also some divergence of opinions between the managers of the future protected area and the artisanal fishermen operating there. However, it was revealed that several projects addressing, in particular, some of the aspects studied in this work, are being carried out at the site and will undoubtedly allow the problems observed to be taken into account for a better future management of the MPA.

Abstract:

The society of Karimunjawa Island is one of a highly enticing tourism destination that maintains the rich practice of artisanal fisheries based on traditional culture and people consensus. This study focuses on artisanal fisheries conducted by Bugis and Bajau nomad descent. Thus, it examines the pattern and dynamics of Bugis and Bajau artisanal fisheries culture in Karimunjawa. They perform alternate short range and nomadic fishing, as well as fishing for market supplies nor solely domestic supplies in which consider ecological conservation and sustain tourism. By means of qualitative method through literature studies and interviews, this research offers case study-based solution to support Sustainable Development Goals number 14, Life Below Water, in which unfolds the method of the Karimunjawa Bugis and Bajau style of artisanal or small scale fisheries through selective fishing gears for subsistent purpose. This research concludes that Bugis and Bajau artisanal fisheries result to minimized exploitation as well as mindful fisheries that preserves underwater biodiversity and supports Life Below Water, which eventually engenderrs cultural-based sustainable tourism in Karimunjawa Island, Jepara regency, Central Java, Indonesia.

Abstract:

Bangladesh has sovereign rights over almost 118,813 km2 in the Bay of Bengal, which is 81% of its total area. The country has a vast marine area, but its marine fisheries production is only 15% of the national production. More than 60% of the world’s fisheries production comes from the marine sector, but in Bangladesh, the scenario is the opposite, although the country is enough potential. This study is designed to find the year-wise marine fisheries production trend and decompose the production into two sub-sectors called artisanal and industrial. Year-wise fisheries production data, from 2002 to 2021, are collected from the “Year Book of Fisheries Statistics of Bangladesh” available on the website of the department of fisheries of the government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. Marine fisheries production in Bangladesh is increasing gradually, but the percentage share in national production is decreasing gradually. Marine production was 22.0% of the total in 2002, but it dropped to 14.7% in 2021. In 20 years of marine production, from 2002 to 2021, the average contribution of artisanal fisheries was 88.1%, while the contribution of industrial fisheries was only 11.9%. The standard deviation of artisanal and industrial fisheries is 0.51 and 0.36, respectively, indicating artisanal has high variability than industrial, but the growth rate of industrial is more fluctuated than artisanal. To increase its marine fisheries, policymakers of Bangladesh should develop a separate marine policy and allocate more funds for research and technological support.

Abstract:

The fisheries sector, especially capture fisheries, is the leading sector in Tegal City. Fisheries activities in Tegal City are concentrated in the Tegalsari Coastal Fishery Port (PPP) where the majority of the perpetrators are small fishermen. Traditional fishermen who are artisanal fishermen generally live below the poverty line. Based on data from the Department of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of Tegal City in 2014, almost 12,589 people worked as fishermen, consisting of 630 people as skippers or ship owners and 11,959 as fishermen workers or crew members (ABK). The low income of traditional fishermen is a long-standing problem, but it has not been resolved until now. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that affect the income of small fishermen in Tegal City. The types of data used in this study are primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to respondents, while secondary data was obtained by studying literature relevant to the research. Respondents in this study were determined through purposive sampling as many as 140 respondents. Data analysis in this study used multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS 22 software. The results showed that of the 4 independent variables studied (age, education, number of family dependents, and total expenditure) it was found that 2 factors significantly influenced the income level of small fishermen in Indonesia.

Abstract:

Purpose: This study examined the challenges of artisanal fisheries in Zanzibar. The artisanal fishery is among the key segments of the emerging Zanzibar blue economy. Therefore, it is more than significant to examine the challenges of artisanal fisheries for spearheading the blue economy transformation in the country. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was conducted in five villages in Zanzibar with a sample of 333. A cross-sectional research design was applied to generate quantitative and qualitative data. The IBM Statistical Software Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS) version 25 was used to code and compute descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages for quantitative while the qualitative data were analysed thematically. Findings: Analysis of the data found that lack of capital, traditional and ineffective fishing facilities, poor market systems, overfishing, decline of marine fish stock, absence of fishers’ rescue facilities and weak enforcement of fisheries laws and regulations were the major artisanal fisheries challenges in the study area. Implications/Originality/Value: The study provided strategic recommendations to the governmental and other fisheries stakeholders to take action on the scenario and drastically enable the artisanal fisheries to become sustainable.

Abstract:

AbstractThe expansion of Nigeria's artisanal fisheries has been a rare economic success story during the 1980s. Without assistance from government agencies the canoe fishermen, many of them Ghanaian migrants, have responded successfully to the opportunities offered by the Lagos market. In recent years declining fish stocks and competition from trawlers have forced shore-based fishermen to adapt their operations to changing circumstances. In describing a number of such responses the article tackles a number of wider themes in economic anthropology and African studies. Contrasting the opposition and co-operation of industrial and artisanal fisheries throws an interesting light on the informal sector debates, while the role played by the marine police and the navy feeds into the discussion on the African state.

Abstract:

Artisanal fisheries in Moroccan Mediterranean generally lack management and planning, thus development. Recently, some of these fisheries had received an attention in field of infrastructure, however, there is lake of data on socioeconomic conditions of these fisheries. The main objective of this article is an update of the state of knowledge of socioeconomic of the artisanal fishers, by means of a case study in Belyounech, Fnideq, Martil and Kaa Asras areas, through a diagnosis based on analysis of socioeconomic indicators derived from data obtained through a structured questionnaire. The data analyses revealed there was a high illiteracy rate and a low level of education among fishers. This community of fishers had lack of awareness about the issues related to the sustainability of resources. Despite species of a high commercial value, Income Net Profit is somewhat not satisfactory, thus, the wealth produced by these fisheries have no real impact on the quality of the fisher's lives, hence, do not ensure sustainable development of this activity.

Abstract:

This article assesses the potentials of artisanal fisheries in spearheading the on-going Zanzibar blue economy transformation. It focuses on five artisanal fisheries potentials, adopted from the five livelihood assets of the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA); financial, physical, natural, human and social. Data were drawn from 333 artisanal fishers in five Zanzibar villages using a cross-sectional research design. A questionnaire survey was employed to collect data and analysed using descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages. Qualitative data were obtained through FGDs and direct observations and analysed thematically. The study results revealed that (96%) of fishers lacked access to loans to support their artisanal fisheries. Again, (54.65%) of fishers used canoe, which is one of the traditional and inefficient fishing vessels. Furthermore, (65.17%) of the fishers did not own the fishing vessels, however, majority of them (80.48%) owned fishing gears. The study also shows that there was low application of fishing technologies in artisanal fisheries. It further revealed that (79.88%) of the respondents had informal knowledge and skills which they inherited from their forefathers and (90.69%) of fishers were not attendants of any capacity building programmes organised either by governmental or non-governmental organisations, while, (58.86%) of the fishers sell their fish catches at their village market that lack modern fish preservation infrastructures. It also revealed that (77.78%) were non-members of fishers’ cooperatives. The study, therefore, recommends that the potentials of artisanal fisheries have to be improved and supported by governmental, non-governmental organisations, and other fisheries stakeholders to ensure sustainable spearheading of the exiting blue economy transformation in Zanzibar Islands.

Full text

Abstract:

Background: Ghana’s marine artisanal fisheries, particularly the small pelagic fisheries, are in a state of crisis. The decline in the number of small pelagic fish are attributable to overfishing, climate variability and unsustainable fishing methods. Similarly, in the wake of climate change, shellfishes (particularly oysters, scallops and mussels) are highly vulnerable. Methods: A total of 55 years’ worth of data from Ghana’s marine artisanal fisheries were studied in relation to climate indices. The primary objective was to develop a simple linear regression model for predicting shellfish catch in Ghana. Key informant interviews were employed in soliciting data on changes in climate along the coastline and trends in marine artisanal shell fish catch. Results: The predictor variable that significantly explained shellfish production was temperature. Hence, the model is a valuable tool to predict future trends in the shellfish catch in marine artisanal fisheries. Conclusions: Increases in sea surface temperature will adversely affect shellfish production. It is therefore important that the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and other stakeholders should, in their decision-making processes, ensure the formulation of climate smart policies and management strategies for sustainable use of the resource.

Abstract:

The Fisheries Act of 1875 altered the leasing arrangements for Burma's most valuable inland fisheries, the inn. It withdrew leases from the “innthugyis” who had traditionally handled these fisheries, and instituted a system of five-year auction leases. Expectations that local fishermen would secure these leases were never realised, and the fishing industry came to be dominated by capitalist interests, which made extortionate profits by subletting the fisheries.

Abstract:

The contribution of the artisanal fisheries to the national fishery production has presented an increase tendency since 1980. This project had the objective to identify the factors that affect the quality of the fisheries, from capture to the preparation at gastronomic establishments, besides the nutritional values of the condiments used to make the caldeirada, a typical food from the north coast of the state of Pernambuco. Artisanal fishermen in the municipalities of Itapissuma and Itamaracá – state of Pernambuco, Brazil - were interviewed about sanitary, social and economic factors. In addition, there were visits in Itapissuma to sites of handling and preparation of seafood dish to analyze the nutritional value, food hygienic practices and the condiments used in the most ordered regional food by the customers, the caldeirada. Results indicated failures in the use of good hygienic-sanitary practices, from capture, marketing to preparation of a seafood dish to final customers. It is necessary to implement Public Health Programs in the artisanal fisheries, including the workers involved and also for the active cooks in the gastronomic area of the locality. These strategies should bring specific actions to improve the nutritional quality of the fishery and for its consumption, resulting in food safety.

Abstract:

Abstract The aim of this research is to analyse the trends of the total artisanal fish catch in the Croatian section of the Sava River. All 17 years of the study (2004-2020) showed a negative trend that became highly statistically significant (p<0.01) in the last eight years. In addition to the total catch, the catch per unit effort (CPUE) also decreased significantly (p<0.05) throughout the study. The reasons for these negative trends are discussed, including a possible decline in artisanal interest, higher fishing pressure from anglers from the Croatian side and both groups of fishermen from the river bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as negative influence of the polluted waters of the large Bosnian river Bosna, which prior to flowing into the lower section of the Sava River, passes through urban and industrial cities. It is suggested to activate the old idea of a common fisheries management body that would include both groups of fishermen (anglers and artisanal fishermen), government representatives and scientists from both countries.

Abstract:

The Gambian and Malian fisheries and fish processing value chains are predominantly artisanal and represent a key source of protein and livelihoods, yet their eco-efficiency has not been studied to date. A Life Cycle Assessment was used to estimate the associated environmental impacts of those value chains and provide information on the eco-efficiency indicators, which relate technical efficiencies to environmental impacts. The results showed that industrial Gambian fleets’ fuel use efficiency is rather low as compared with the global mean fuel use intensity (landed fish/consumed fuel) for both small pelagics and demersal fish. In Mali, the fuel use intensity of motorised artisanal fisheries is lower than the mean values for artisanal inland fisheries in developing countries, but the important increase of frozen imported fish from fish farming multiplies the estimated impacts by four. The least energy-intensive fisheries (cast nets and stow nets in Gambia and opportunistic fishers in Mali) feature better eco-efficiency scores. Based on the identified sources of inefficiencies, we suggest improvements in the landing/processing infrastructure and fishing units’ engines, coupled with technical and business training and improved processing methods, to ameliorate seafood eco-efficiency and a stronger recognition of the importance of the artisanal fisheries subsector to overcome challenges and improving resource management.

Abstract:

Fishing activities are usually associated with rural based economic activities. However, studies in Gaya Island Village, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah found that fisheries also carried out by the urban community. Urbanization have created opportunities and dilemmas for fishermen in these villages. This ethnographic study is based on two objectives (i) to discuss the impact of urbanization on fishermen economic life; and (ii) to describe factors affecting the sustainability of fishing activities in urban areas. The study found that urbanization open opportunities to the involvement of non-fishery employment among the fishing households, increased education awareness, fishermen engaged in part-time jobs, urban wage-earner and fixed income as well as enjoying urban facilities. All of these provide income stability to the fishing household in Gaya Island Village but at the same time invokes the issue of uncertainties in fisheries economic activity through tourism development and conservation. The involvement of fishing households in the urban economy especially in the service sector has led to the questionable future of this activity. However, this study found that the nature of the fisheries sector is easy to access, government incentives and fishing skills are among the factors that can influence the sustainability of fisheries activities among the fishing community in Kota Kinabalu city.

Abstract:

The small-scale (artisanal) fisheries in Zimbabwe play an important role in income-generation and food security at the household level. This sector has the potential to significantly increase its contribution to household income and food security if more effective fisheries management strategies are put in place. Historically, fisheries management has adopted a centralised “Top-down” approach. This approach has had very limited effectiveness. Over the last decade, efforts have been made to implement co-management in the fisheries sector. Several factors have hampered the success of fisheries co-management in the artisanal fishery. These factors have been institutional, ecological, human and financial. This paper discusses these factors and proposes possible solutions. A more innovative and effective fisheries management approach is also proposed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v1i1.8526 International Journal of Environment Vol.1(1) 2013: 29-45

Abstract:

Freshwater fishing is an important socioeconomic aspect of the communities in the Cagayan de Oro River (CDOR), Philippines. The fishery sector in CDOR has the elements that are generally characteristic of artisanal or small-scale fisheries. Before this study, very little was known of the scope and magnitude of artisanal level fishing activities within the CDOR. It has remained undocumented by Local Government Units (LGUs) as it does not contribute directly to the economy in terms of measurable cash flow. However, a number of fishes in the river have higher commercial value compared to marine fisheries in the nearby Macajalar Bay. This study is an attempt to examine the conditions of the CDOR fisheries and to quantify its economic contributions. The economic contribution is measured in terms of the market value of captured aquatic resources. In order to establish the behavior and trends in the fisheries of the different communities, the study area was divided into three sub-zones. Data in this study were collected through interviews of identified fishermen in the different sub-zones. Majority of the fishermen venture into other menial jobs due to proximity to the urban center. Many of them have subsidiary occupations which serve the dual purpose of alternative income and job opportunities and food source because fishing is seasonal. The peak fishing season usually spans two to four months. Comparatively, the earnings derived by the Cagayan de Oro River fishermen are relatively in almost the same range as the marine fishermen in the different parts of the country.

Abstract:

For over twenty years incidental takes of the franciscana, Pontoporia blainvillei, in coastal artisanal gillnet fisheries have been documented from strandings in Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil (29°20'S to 33°45'S). No direct measures of fishing effort exist for these artisanal gillnet fisheries. However, the fisheries are known to have increased substantially since the early 1980s. Indicative fishing effort in the artisanal bottom gillnet fishery was calculated from the available time series of CPUE from industrial trawl fisheries combined with estimates of the annual catch from the artisanal fisheries. The resulting time series indicates that effort was generally increasing throughout the period. Trends in stranding rates of franciscana were analysed for the 1979-1998 period from systematically collected data as part of a long-term beach monitoring programme for marine mammals. Strandings of franciscana generally occur during spring, from September to December. This is the main period when the artisanal bottom-tending gillnet fisheries are active. However, strandings have occurred in all months, indicating that at least some franciscanas remain in the area year-round. Strandings rates for the spring months were generally high during 1979-81, declined to relatively low levels during 1982-85, increased again until 1987 and subsequently declined, with perhaps some increase again in the most recent years. While clearly recognising the limitations of attempting to infer changes in abundance from strandings data, one of the most likely explanations for declining stranding rates in the face of substantially increasing fishing effort would be a decline in franciscana abundance. As such, the strandings rate trends in conjunction with the effort trends, are a matter of concern and the available information, while limited, suggests that an impact on the southern Brazil population may have occurred.

Abstract:

The Western Indian Ocean represents ca. 8% of the world's oceans but generates only 4% of the global industrial catch. This region is also home to a great proportion of the world's population, living in developing countries with a high dependence on marine resources. Trends in the declared landings of marine resources from the Western Indian Ocean suggest that this ocean may be approaching its maximum harvest potential of ca. 4 Mt per annum, but underreported artisanal catches complicate more–detailed analyses. There is a growing demand for ‘new resources’ to make up for declining stocks, while several large fluctuations are linked to changes in market demand and over exploitation. Artisanal fisheries in the region are highly diversified. Preliminary results are presented of a project that evaluates the conservation status and sustainable management practices in 168 different fishery types. It is concluded that the majority of the region's artisanal fisheries are not adequately supported by scientific information and that management strategies need to be improved if the enormous development challenges of East African countries are to be met.

A multistage sampling technique was used to select a total of 400 Artisans from the study area. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaire as interview guide, on the socio-economic characteristics, production inputs and output prices. The data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Stochastic production frontier model was used to estimate the technical, efficiencies of both motorized and manually propelled technologies in artisanal fishery system as well as the factors influencing the technical, efficiencies of the artisans.</p> <p>The results of the comparison of the MPT and (MT) revealed that the average income per month for MPT was N361,847.48 and the amount accruable per month for the MT was N560,755.57. The results of the comparison of catch efficiency and inefficiency function showed that in MPT, fishing gear, vessel length, number of crew/skippers, quantity of bait and battery were all significant at 5 percent probability level while for MT, fishing gear, outboard engine, battery and miscellaneous quantity were the significant factors. The mean catch efficiency of MPT was 0.92 compared to MT with 0.98. However, the comparison of the inefficiency shows that education, age, and household size are significant factors while education is significant factors in both MPT and MT respectively. The results of the returns-to-scale revealed that the parameters estimate of the MT was higher with 4.35 compared to MPT with 2.56.</p>

Abstract:

This paper outlines the alternative livelihood practices used by artisanal fishers for household improvement in five Zanzibar Islands fishing villages: Kizimkazi Dimbani, Chwaka, Unguja Ukuu Kaepwani, Tumbe Mashariki, and Michenzani. The cross-sectional research design was used to collect quantitative data via a questionnaire survey and qualitative data via Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and key informant interviews. Data were collected from a sample of 333 artisanal fishers drawn from the 1991 population using the Yamane formula. According to the findings of the study, approximately half of the artisanal fishers (53.45%) did not engage in any alternative livelihood practice to support the livelihood of their households and instead relied solely on artisanal fisheries. (23.12%) of the artisanal fishers were farmers, (9.91%) were seaweed farmers, and (5.41% were animal keepers. A small percentage of artisanal fishers (8.11%) engage in petty trade, tourism, and dagaa processing for sale. It is therefore recommended that the respective government, in collaboration with other fisheries stakeholders, establish the sustainability of alternative livelihood opportunities for artisanal fisher communities in order to improve their household livelihoods by diversifying their household survival and reducing the challenge of overexploitation of fishery resources.

Abstract:

Fisheries management involves, among other things, knowledge of the actors and the catching gear used. These data are generally absent in the fisheries of Côte d'Ivoire. However, there is a strong fishing activity. To lead this study, surveys were conducted among fishermen and fishery administrators. The study of fishing activity in the area of Dioulabougou (Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa) in the district of Bouaflé done from November 2013 to February 2014 identified 88 fishermen. This population is composed of ivorians (39.77%) and foreigners (60.23%). The fishing activity is led by malians (Bambara ethnic group): 34.1%. Baoulé ethnic group (29.54% of ivorian fishermen) is the greatest ethnic group of ivorians. Two categories of fishermen stand in the fishing activity. We registered professional fishermen whose job is only fishing (84.1%) and professionals with another activity (4.5%). The fishing activity in Dioulabougou is dominated by adult aged more than 45 years (48%). Fishermen are predominantly illiterate at 42.04%. The fishing techniques used at Dioulabougou are conical fishing baskets (mesh and trunk of ronier), bamboo-traps, gillnets, bottom lines and shore seines. The illiterate situation of fishermen isa serious matter for sustainable management on fish’s resources.

Abstract:

Species that occur in low abundances and that are morphologically similar to the target fish are often undetectable in fisheries hauls; however, they add to the catch statistics of the target species. Using mitochondrial DNA and phylogenetic approaches we identified 6 individuals of the species Xenobrama microlepis in a haul targeting the southern Ray’s bream (Brama australis) taken by artisanal fishermen close to Chilean coast. The presence of X. microlepis increases the regional marine biodiversity of fishes in Chilean waters, and fisheries managers should pay attention to the hidden biodiversity in the fishery statistics.

Abstract:

Modern digital technologies have the great potential to improve the sustainability of fish farming in artisanal fisheries. However, in spite of the popularity of these technologies for fish farming in other parts of the world, Brazil still lags behind. To fill this gap, this study has conducted the first field study in implementing the IoT sensor technologies in Southern Brazil and documents the experiences in this paper. More specifically, it discusses developing sustainable artisanal fisheries infrastructure using these technologies with reference to southern Brazil, where the study explores the use of sensor technology in aquaculture and its effectiveness in reducing waste and improving productivity. The overarching goal of the project is to demonstrate how simple data collection using IoT sensors and its analysis can support artisanal freshwater fish farms in Brazil and beyond to increase production, reduce waste, and thereby improve their sustainability. The pilot implementation of these technologies has demonstrated the potential of increasing the productivity of the artisanal fisheries, reducing waste (e.g., loss of farmed fish, optimised feeding to reduce waste of feeds), and improving the sustainability of aquaculture. This paper documents the valuable firsthand experiences of selecting, adapting, and implementing the IoT sensor technologies with close cooperation from local research institutions and artisanal fish farmers. The paper describes the different implementation stages and use interviews with stakeholders as a testimony of the effectiveness of the IoT technology adoption.

Abstract:

The lack of a long term, comprehensive and reliable fisheries statistics system is a major impediment to fisheries management in Brazil. Fishing is one of the main activities throughout the country's coast, with predominance of small-scale, artisanal, multigear, and multispecies captures that are landed in a pulverized network of coastal villages. Brazil is also a hotspot of common names, another feature that challenges artisanal fisheries' monitoring. We combined taxonomic and ethnobiological information to support the implementation of an artisanal fisheries' monitoring program under the co-management framework of a Marine Extractive Reserve in Bahia State, Northeastern Brazil. We surveyed 141 fishing landings, recording 86 fish species (43 families) and 52 correspondences 1:1 between local and scientific names. Broad folk categories had an average of 5.1 specific names, with "cação" (shark) being the category with more specific names (24 names to six biological species). With the exception of species that make up the bycatch captured by shrimp trawling, fisherfolks are able to identify commercially important species from both fresh specimens and photos. Common names can be reliably used in fisheries monitoring programs, and their usage facilitates the participation of fisherfolks in surveys based on voluntary or compulsory declarations of captures

Abstract:

Marchica lagoon offers very favourable conditions for practice of artisanal fishing which is the main socioeconomic activity carried out in this coastal ecosystem. However, artisanal fishing there suffers from a lack of control and management due to the absence of a data collection system on the various biological and socioeconomic aspects of this fishery. Thus, it considers serious threaten their sustainability. The main purpose of the paper to give a comprehensive account of artisanal fishing and its socioeconomic aspects in the Marchica lagoon, through a survey carried out at five sites around the lagoon. It has been found that there a low level of education among fishermen. The fishermen practiced two gears, pound net and trammel net. The economical analysis showed that the total annual gross product per boat is about 15766,80 USD, which gives an average monthly income of about 1148, 10USD par boat. Therefore, the wealth produced by these fisheries have a real impact on the quality of the fishermen live. Hence, ensure sustainable development of this fishery.

Abstract:

In this paper, efficiency of artisanal fishing firms is measured using a method elaborated by Yotopoulos and Lau (AER, March 1973). It shows that this method could be used by fishery managers to find new criteria when it comes to decide which fishermen should be granted a license, when entry into the fisheries ought to be limited. The main results may however appear surprising in that they reveal that as a whole fishermen are price efficient, although those more open to new technology have a more business like behavior and tend to be more efficient than the others. Finally those with a larger experience of the labor market outside fisheries reveal a behavior consistant with a perception of the opportunity cost of their labor higher than that shown by those with little experience outside of fisheries.

Abstract:

Artisanal fishing communities include some of the ‘poorest of the poor’. Using data from gill net fishers in Malaysia, the paper presents the first technical efficiency study of an artisanal fishery and finds that artisanal fishers are poor, but enjoy a high level of technical efficiency. If the relatively high levels of technical efficiency found in the Malaysian gill net fishery existed in other artisanal fisheries, it suggests that targeted development assistance that has traditionally been focussed on the harvesting sector may be better directed to other priorities in artisanal fishing communities.

Abstract:

The Ganges River dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) (GRD) is classified as one of the most endangered of all cetaceans in the world and the second scarcest freshwater cetacean. The population is estimated to be less than 2,000 individuals. In Nepal’s Narayani, Sapta Koshi, and Karnali river systems, survival of GRD continues to be threatened by various anthropogenic activities, such as dam construction and interactions with artisanal fisheries. A basic description of the geographic scope, economics, and types of gear used in these fisheries would help managers understand the fishery-dolphin interaction conflict and assist with developing potential solutions. The main goal was to provide new information on the artisanal fishing communities in Nepal. The specific objectives were to identify, compile, and investigate the demographics, economics, fishing characteristics, and perception of fishermen about GRD conservation in the Narayani, Sapta Koshi, and Karnali rivers so conservation managers can develop and implement a potential solution to the GRD-fishery interaction problem in Nepal. Based on 169 interviews, 79% of Nepalese fishermen indicated fishing was their primary form of income. Fishermen reported fishing effort was greater in summer than winter; greatest in the afternoon (14:30 hrs ± 0:27) and during low water level conditions; and gear was set 4.8 ± 0.2 days/week. Fishermen reported using eight different types of monofilament nets (gillnets and cast nets). Sixty percent used gillnets less than 10 m long, and nearly 30% preferred gillnets between 10 and 100 m long; a few used gillnets longer than 100 m. Most fishermen reported they believed education, awareness, and changing occupations were important for GRD conservation, but they indicated that alternative occupational options were currently limited in Nepal. Nepalese fishermen acknowledged that fisheries posed a risk to GRD, but they believed water pollution, and dam/irrigation developments were the greatest threats.

Abstract:

The 1,860 ha Tono reservoir is the largest source of water for irrigation and freshwater fisheries production in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The current status of the fisheries was investigated in this study, with emphasis on the role of gender. The reservoir’s fisheries have made a significant contribution to food security and livelihoods. The artisanal fisheries produce an estimated 61.2 metric tons of fish annually and offer employment and income for not less than 480 indigenous households. Participation in the fisheries value chain during the study was gender biased: the ratio of males to females was 104 to 376. The men do the fishing (actual extraction) and mending of the fishing gears, while the women traditionally dominate the downstream post-harvest enterprises. More importantly the women command a considerable influence on the fisheries exploitation as financiers or employers of majority of the fishers.

Abstract:

Abstract Assessing fish stocks harvested by small-scale fisheries is challenging. The lack of official fisheries data constrains the proper management of such fisheries. Thus, alternative sources of information are crucial to enrich data-poor fisheries. Here, we evaluated different sources of data for the mullet (Mugil liza) fishery, one of the most important but overexploited fisheries in Brazil. We gathered three alternative sources of catch data by artisanal fisheries: 14 years of self-reported catches by artisanal fishers across 24 municipalities; 16 years of catches by traditional beach seines mined from news outlets; and 13 years from a single community monitoring their beach seine catches. We tested whether alternative data sources follow the same trends of landing reports from systematic, official monitoring of the industrial fleet. We fitted Bayesian time-series models to test if environmental changes and stock abundance can predict these data. We found that only self-reported catches matched the official reporting trends, thereby improving our understanding of changes in the mullet stock. These findings reveal that self-reported catches by fishers provide reliable additional data useful for management. Self-reporting data are cost-effective, deals with the complexity of small-scale fisheries, and welcomes fishers as key stakeholders in management practices.

Abstract:

AbstractShare contracts are the dominant remuneration system in artisanal fisheries. Introducing regulations based on collective use rights may affect the way profits are distributed. The literature on the effect of regulatory reform on factor income distribution, however, is scarce. In this paper, we look at differences in the implementation of the Extractive Artisanal Regime in Chilean hake artisanal fisheries to test its effect on share contracts. We estimated a switching regression model using census data to calculate the average treatment effect. Our results show that crewmembers in communities regulated by some form of collective use rights receive, on average, 6 per cent more of total net incomes compared to those regulated by a limited access with global quota regime. Differences in the relation between crew size and labor rewards, as well as in the negotiating power of crewmembers under different regimes, may explain the results.

Abstract:

The TWP Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang are one of the marine conservation areas in NTB Province. In this area, there is a sustainable fisheries zone that is used by fishermen around the area. However, the lack of information regarding capture fisheries activities in the Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang TWP areas has caused the NTB Provincial Government to have not been able to make decisions for regulating capture fisheries activities in these areas. Based on these conditions, preliminary research on capture fisheries activities carried out by fishermen in the Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang TWP areas are important. Data collection in this study was carried out in Sugian Village and Labuhan Pandan Village using the purposive sampling method. The data analysis used in this research is descriptive analysis. This study indicates that capture fisheries activities in the Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang TWP areas are carried out by artisanal fishermen, where fishing activities fall into the category of small-scale fisheries. The fishing gear used by fishermen in the Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang TWP areas are hand rods, gill nets, anco, and arrows. The fishing vessels that are dominantly operated by fishermen in the area are 5-7 meters and 8-10 meters. The fishing area for fishermen in the Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang TWP areas is 10 meters to 10 km from the fishing base, but some fishermen carry out fishing activities within 1.5 – 2.5 miles from the fishing base. The most common type of fish caught by fishermen in the Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang TWP areas is anchovy.

Full text

Abstract:

The study examined the determinants of catch sales of artisanal fishers through wealthy middle women in fishing communities of Ghana, often known as fish mothers or “fish mongers”. The effects of selected variables were examined with a double hurdle model. Self-financing was found to negatively affect the fishers’ sale of fish catch through fish mothers. The fishers were 19% less likely to sell to fish mothers if they self-finance, and that self-financing will result in a 10% downward unconditional change on the percentage of fish sold to the fish mothers. Factors that positively influenced the sale of fish catch through the fish mothers were price, percentage of high value fishes, size of boat, fishing experience, and number of fishing trips conducted in a year. The estimated average partial effects of boat size had the strongest effect with about 146% and 91% change, respectively on conditional and unconditional effect on the percentage of catch sales sold through the fish mothers. Overall, the study shows that long-term consistent economic and investment considerations such as investing in larger boats are important drivers for fishers’ choice of selling catches through fish mothers. The main implication of the results is that fishers need some economic leverage such as access to formal capital and financial resources to incentivize them to exercise control over their marketing activities so that they can receive a higher profit from their fishing operations. This is important for the sustainability of coastal fisheries communities and the sector as a whole. Artisanal fishers need resources such as low interest loans and market information systems that will enable them to negotiate prices for their fish catch with fish mothers.
