Miller, Robert W. "Learning Preferences of Commercial Fishermen." Scholar Commons, 2015. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/5532.
Full textAbstract:
This study surveyed 435 commercial fishermen across eight coastal regions of the United States where commercial fishing takes place. The regions of the study included: Northeast Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes, Southern Pacific, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska. Participants were asked to complete the Commercial Fishing Worker Survey (CFWS), which is a survey instrument consisting of an approved, adapted version of the Index of Learning Styles instrument (ILS) combined with a demographic section which included questions designed to obtain data regarding the four variables of the study: age, education level, captain's license status, and method of fishing. The instrument was designed to provide data sufficient to answer the three research questions of the study.
1. What are the learning preferences of commercial fishermen?
2. Are there differences in the learning preferences of commercial fishermen across the eight geographical regions of the study?
3. Are there differences in the learning preferences of commercial fishermen based on the demographical variables?
The commercial fishermen showed obvious inclinations toward specific learning preference dimensions. The fishermen indicated that they preferred the active (rather than the reflective) dimension, the sensing (rather than the intuitive) dimension, the visual (rather than the verbal) dimension, and the sequential (rather than the global) dimension. The participant's responses were similar across the eight regions. Where differences existed, they were related to the sensing/intuitive and sequential/global learning preferences dimensions. Region 8 Alaska appeared to have stronger sensing and sequential learning preferences than the other regions.
Age did not appear to influence the learning preferences of the fishermen. The majority of the respondents indicated they were high school graduates. However, education did not appear to affect the learning preferences of the fishermen. Captain's license status had no influence on the learning preferences of the commercial fishermen, since the majority of the respondents did not possess a captain's license.
Respondents indicated that the largest percentage of commercial fishing used net fishing methods as their primary means of fishing. For the majority of the commercial fishermen, method of fishing did not appear to influence the learning preferences of commercial fishermen. However, net and trap fishermen exhibited significant differences related to the sensing/intuitive and sequential/global learning preference dimensions and reported more preference for the sequential/global learning preference dimensions then fishermen using other methods of fishing. Implications and recommendations for further study are enumerated in the last chapter.

Lane, Daniel Edward. "Dynamic models of decision making by fishermen." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1986. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/27125.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the dynamic decision making behavior of fishermen. Two models are developed: (l) an intraseasonal model of vessel movement on the fishing ground during each season; and (2) an interseasonal model for investment decision making from year to year. Both decision models are driven by single economic objectives and the fisherman-decision maker is assumed to make rational choices to optimize the stated objective.
In this competitive market intraseasonal decisions are assumed to be made in the short-run to maximize the net operating income of each fishing enterprise. These decisions about where to fish to obtain the maximum return to fishing effort over the course of the season are modelled by a partially observable Markov decision process which incorporates the key elements of the problem facing each fisherman. The state space for this process is derived from total seasonal biomass. This aggregate description of the state space renders the problem practicable and solvable. The normative model is developed formally and applied to freezer trollers of the British Columbia commercial fishing fleet. Model results for average income and catch per troller, and seasonal fishing distribution over the fishing grounds reflect major tendencies in statistics arising from actual intraseasonal decisions made by this group of fishermen.
Interseasonal decisions concerning longer-term investment strategies are made in an environment which is highly variable from season-to-season. Extensive variability implies that economic survival is a primary consideration in the investment decision process. The investment decision making process is modelled as a probabilistic dynamic programming problem in discrete time. Investors are assumed to make rational decisions based on income expectations and subject to survivability conditions to maximize the net worth of the fishing enterprise at the end of a finite planning horizon. The formal analysis of the investment model is presented. The model is applied to all trollers of the British Columbia commercial fishing fleet. The pattern of actual investment by troller is simulated by tuning behavioral components of the investment model. These results provide insight into the behavioral basis of investment decision making by this group of fishermen.
This modelling framework has implications for planning and regulation in fisheries. Insight gained into the key factors behind fishermen's decisions can provide a basis for the development of strategic policies which anticipate fishermen's behavior and are aimed at stabilizing the economic viability of the fishing sector. The approach represents a movement away from reactive, short-term policies which have characterized fisheries regulation to date.Business, Sauder School of

Full textAbstract:
Currently available communication studies within fisheries politics largely concern communication between scientists and decision makers, to some extent stakeholders and decision makers, but seldom merely fishermen and scientists. This thesis attempts to discuss the relationship between fishermen and scientists in Sweden, on a more local level. This is carried out through the analysis of the possible barriers blocking communication at the higher levels of the fisheries hierarchy, together with the implication of these barriers on whether fishermen find fisheries policies legitimate or not. The empirical data in this thesis is based upon face-to-face interviews, with four fishermen and four scientists concerning their involvement in communication with the opposite group. The results from these interviews are analysed through the use of a framework resting upon the basis of environmental governance, marine governance and risk communication theory. Within this theoretical base, legitimacy will be used as a central concept. As a part of the theoretical framework, communication barriers indicating a cultural difference will also be examined. In the analysis section of this thesis, indications of several communication barriers are discussed along with the respective potential effects of these barriers on the acceptance of science and the legitimacy of fisheries policies. It was found that in terms of detecting the main functions of risk communication, the lack of a structure for communication between fishermen and scientists may be holding back the full potential of communication between the two groups. The cultural differences spotted in the data are, as far as this study shows, inconclusive and do not seem severe enough to set up any potential communication barriers. Instead, this study did find four major communication barriers: media polarisation; several differing opinions within the Swedish fisheries sector; hierarchy and a lack of a communicational structure between fishermen and scientists. Although all of these communication barriers are seen as risks to legitimacy, the most significant risk appears to be lowered legitimacy due to the difference between experience-based knowledge and research-based knowledge. It is believed that a more structured communication together with cooperative research and / or cooperative management would be able to mend these barriers.Keywords: Cultural barriers, Communication barriers, Media polarisation and Knowledge bases.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, there is widespread debate regarding the overall status of the world's fisheries, with some researchers projecting their total collapse in only a few decades, and others concluding the situation is not quite as bleak. Additional debates include what strategies should be used to manage fisheries at various scales, and further research is needed to determine which strategies are most appropriate for use in particular situations and locales, as context is critical.
Recently, prominent common pool resources scholars have expressed the need for ethnographic approaches to studying resource management institutions in order to move beyond the current focus of simply identifying the factors and conditions that lead to the self-organization of resource users and long-term sustainability of management institutions. These authors describe the need for examining the larger context in which management institutions exist and taking various historical, political, and sociocultural factors into account when examining common pool resources. This dissertation is a response to that request.
This research is the result of over 20 months of ethnographic research in St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands (USVI). Drawing on research in political ecology and building on anthropological critiques of common pool resource institutions, I describe the historical, social, and political factors that influence how fisheries management occurs at the federal and territorial levels, and how commercial fishers, managers, and other stakeholders experience and participate in multi-scale management processes. Ethnographic data suggest that there are a variety of historical, social, and political factors that influence how commercial fishers, managers, and other stakeholders perceive the federal fisheries management process, the extent of their participation in that process, as well as interactions within and between stakeholder groups. Additionally, the mismatch that exists between the centralized management structure of the US federal system and the small-scale, multi-method nature of St. Croix's fishery creates a complex management environment in which few stakeholders participate.

Hallaire, Juliette. "Constructing maritime geographies : the pragmatic mobility of Senegalese fishermen." Thesis, Keele University, 2015. http://eprints.keele.ac.uk/2986/.
Full textAbstract:
Senegalese fishermen have significantly expanded their mobility into the eastern Atlantic Ocean since the early 1980s. Fishermen have been crossing international maritime borders and organising long sea journeys, in part as a response to the decrease in fishing resources in Senegalese waters. From the early 2000s, they began carrying West African migrants on the maritime routes from Senegal to Spain, diversifying into irregular maritime migration or ‘people smuggling’. Fishermen’s fishing techniques and the migration flows they have facilitated are well documented. We have a good understanding, too, of the push-and-pull factors shaping these maritime migration patterns. Thus far, the social and political meanings of fishermen’s maritime mobility and cross-border movements have been comparatively neglected. This thesis argues that these mobility patterns are connected, revealing links between regional fisheries and mobilities and international migration flows that create distinctive maritime geographies. Drawing on participant observations and narratives collected in 69 in-depth interviews, my analysis explores the ways in which power and knowledge shape the at-sea experiences of Senegalese fishermen. For them, mobility is more than a response to the decrease in fish resources. By deploying their mobility, fishermen seek to recover control over their maritime and social environments. To map the maritime geographies this mobility co-creates, I examine three spaces. First, I chart the social and political mechanisms of fishermen’s mobility in Senegal, examining the gendered and local meanings of their movements. Second, I examine these mechanisms at the regional level – at the Senegal–Mauritania border and in the waters off Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. Finally, I track fishermen’s routes to the Canary Islands. By attending to fishermen’s accounts, I demonstrate the many ways in which they appropriate the ocean space, shape the geographies of maritime borderlands and rationalise their navigation. I reveal how their maritime mobility opens up multiple opportunities for fishermen to negotiate with – and reshape – the power relations that structure their social, political and natural environments.

Richard, Gaëtan. "Behavioural ecology of fishermen and odontocetes in a depredation context." Thesis, La Rochelle, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LAROS018/document.
Full textAbstract:
De nombreux prédateurs marins se nourrissent directement des prises des pêcheurs. Ces interactions, définies comme de la déprédation, engendrent des conséquences socio-économiques considérables pour les pêcheurs ainsi que des implications de conservation pour la faune sauvage. D’un côté, la déprédation endommage le matériel et augmente l’effort de pêche pour atteindre les quotas. D’un autre côté, la déprédation augmente le risque de mortalité des prédateurs marins (prise accidentelle ou rétorsion létale par les pécheurs). La pêcherie à la palangre est la plus impactée par la déprédation, principalement par les odontocètes, ce qui incite à trouver des solutions. La majorité des études se concentrant sur la déprédation s’est principalement basée sur des observations en surface, de ce fait la manière dont les prédateurs retirent les poissons sur les lignes reste confuse. Par ailleurs, l’impact de la déprédation sur le comportement des pêcheurs ainsi que les facteurs expliquant leur détectabilité n’ont reçu que peu d’intérêt. L’objectif de cette thèse est donc d’étudier ces problématiques par un suivi acoustique, une utilisation de balises et une approche en écologie comportementale humaine, en se concentrant sur la pêcherie palangrière française ciblant la légine australe (Dissostichus eleginoides) impactée par la déprédation des orques (Orcinus orca) et des cachalots (Physeter macrocephalus). Les capitaines ont été décrits comme recherchant leur ressource selon la théorie de « l’optimal foraging », mais avec des perceptions de la compétition et du succès de pêche qui divergent. Certains capitaines seraient ainsi plus enclins à remonter les palangres au plus proche et à rester sur une zone, même en présence de compétition, augmentant alors le risque d’interaction. L’acoustique des navires a révélé que certaines manoeuvres (marche arrière par exemple) propagent différemment sous l’eau. La manière dont les capitaines manoeuvrent leur palangrier influencerait ainsi leur détectabilité et donc leur risque d’interaction avec les prédateurs. D’autre part, l’utilisation de capteurs sur les palangres et les animaux a révélé que les orques et les cachalots sont capables de déprédater sur les palangres posées sur le fond marin. Ces observations laissent à penser que les odontocètes sont en mesure de localiser l’activité de pêche bien avant la remontée de la ligne, ce qui pourrait être expliqué par une signature acoustique spécifique du déploiement de la ligne. L’ensemble des résultats de cette thèse suggère que la déprédation sur les palangres démersales est très probablement sous-estimée. Cette thèse apporte également des éléments importants pour la lutte contre la déprédation, en montrant la nécessité de protéger les palangres dans l’intégralité du processus de pêcheMany marine predator species feed on fish caught by fishers directly from the fishing gear. Known as depredation this interaction issue has substantial socio-economic consequences for fishermen and conservation implications for the wildlife. Costs for fishers include damages to the fishing gear and increased fishing effort to complete quotas. For marine predators, depredation increases risks of mortality (lethal retaliation from fishers or bycatch on the gear). Longline fisheries are the most impacted worldwide, primarily by odontocetes (toothed whales) depredation, urging the need for mitigation solutions to be developed. Most of studies assessing depredation have primarily relied on surface observation data, thus the way odontocetes interact with longlines underwater remains unclear. Besides, the way fishermen respond to depredation during fishing operations, or can influence their detectability to odontocetes, have been poorly investigated. This thesis therefore aimed at investigating these aspects through a passive acoustic monitoring, bio-logging and human ecology approaches, focusing on the French Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) longline fisheries impacted by killer whales (Orcinus orca) and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). Firstly, this thesis reveals that captains behave as optimal foragers but with different personal perception of competition and fishing fulfilment. Some captains would thus be more likely to stay within a patch or to haul closest longline even in presence of competition, suggesting these captains would show higher interaction rates. Additionally, the propagation of vessels’ acoustics varied depending on the type of manoeuvre (e.g. going backward vs. forward). The way captains use their vessels to navigate may therefore influence their detectability and so their depredation level. Secondly, loggers deployed on both the longlines (accelerometers) and odontocetes (GPS-TDR) revealed that killer whales and sperm whales are able to depredate on longlines while soaking on the seafloor. These observations suggest, therefore, that odontocetes can localise fishing activity before the hauling, which could be partially explained by specific acoustic signatures recorded during the setting process. Altogether, the results of the thesis suggest that depredation rates on demersal longlines are most likely underestimated. The thesis also brings some important insights for mitigation measures, suggesting that countermeasures should start from setting to hauling

Full textAbstract:
Mobile phones have had a tremendous diffusion rate in Africa in recent years. This has brought access to telecommunication to new user groups, among them Tanzanian fishermen. But how does mobile phone use affect the way fishermen live their lives, how they pursue economic activities and how they protect themselves from vulnerability to risk?
During a field study in Tanzania, interviews with fish boat captains were conducted in order to investigate what impact mobile phone use has on the livelihood indicators empowerment, opportunity and vulnerability to risk. Our research shows that increased access to information, enabled by mobile phones brings positive effects to all indicators. Mobile phone use empowers, both through increased bargaining power and increased control over external events. Mobile phones give increased knowledge about market opportunities and a possibility to work more efficiently. Furthermore, mobile phones give fishermen a possibility to take measures to decrease the risks they are exposed to, such as emergencies out at sea. The negative effects are found negligible. These effects are most likely not isolated to Tanzanian fishermen. Communication through mobile phones can bring similar advantages to other groups that have earlier been excluded from the communication system.

Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedDespite a strong naval presence, piracy off the Horn of Africa (HOA) has been rising at the impressive annual rate of about 100 percent since 2006. Repression at sea does not seem to be working, and it is critical to identify the root cause(s) of piracy before additional counter-measures can be applied with any measurable success. The rise in piracy off the HOA is blamed by some on the disenfranchisement of Somali fishermen. This paper investigates trends in Somalia's artisanal fisheries over five decades, and finds that the rise in piracy off the HOA is not a direct consequence of a decline in Somali fisheries. Somalia is unique in many ways, and a number of factors there combine to enable piracy to rise in ways unparalleled anywhere else in the world, or at any other time in history. Some alternative counter-piracy options can be explored, even in the continued absence of a strong central Somali government.

The Mauazinho district of Manaus, has much of its territory on the Black River. In its edge, they are practiced fish capture activities for more than six decades by artisanal and commercial fishermen originally reside and riverside communities located in the municipalities of Rio Solimões. After the 1970s, with the advent of De Manaus Free Trade Zone and the creation of the infrastructure of the neighborhood, many fishermen migrated to the location in order to fix residences in the immediate vicinity of the fishing desktop. This migration allowed the creation of a fishing community in an urban area of Manaus that, over the decades, shaped peculiar characteristics modus vivendi, and such characteristics analyzed in this work, and compared with the characteristics established in the original group communities.
O bairro Mauazinho, em Manaus, apresenta grande parte de seu território às margens do Rio Negro. Em sua orla, são praticadas atividades de captura de pescado há mais de seis décadas por pescadores artesanais e comercias que originalmente residem e comunidades ribeirinhas localizadas em municípios do Rio Solimões. Após a década de 1970, com o advento da Zona Franca De Manaus e a criação da infraestrutura do bairro, muitos pescadores migraram para a localidade no intuito de fixarem residências em local próximo da área de trabalho pesqueiro. Essa migração permitiu a criação de uma comunidade de pescadores em uma área urbana de Manaus que, ao longo das décadas, moldou características peculiares em modus vivendi, sendo tais características analisadas neste trabalho, e comparadas com as características verificadas nas comunidades originais do grupo.

Full textAbstract:
Bering Sea pollock fishing is characterized by high levels of physical risk, uncertainties in wages and schedule, close and extensive interdependence on other workers, and long absences from home. This occupation leads to a way of life which is full of extremes and has unusually strong effects on the family. This study examines the effects of the occupation on the quality of family life and working life through a teamwork perspective. It is a study of the slow breakdown in cooperation among families and the enhancement of cooperation in the work setting. The breakdown in family cooperation reduces the family’s ability to respond to its members’ needs for love, inclusion, and intimacy, and has important consequences for the quality of family life. The enhancement of cooperation in the work setting contributes to the creation of important social benefits such as trust, agreement, and a sense of inclusion. These social outcomes, and improved task performance, positively influence the quality of working life. Major themes include anthropology at home and among peers, family adaptations to occupational influences, the role of story-telling in building cooperation and commitment in teams, generosity and relaxed social accounting strategies in adult socialization, and the importance of extremes in evaluating the quality of working life.

Full textAbstract:
This research looks at the change in ethical sensibilities towards a mangrove in a fishing colony in the periphery of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and at how they may have changed as the mangrove became a protected area and entered the environmental assemblage. Formerly called Z-1, this was the first of 800 cooperative fishing colonies founded along the Brazilian coast in 1920 as part of a government initiative. The study unveiled the following pattern around the mangrove: from being a source of livelihood and place for communal activities up until the 1970s, it became the locus of an environmental movement in the 80s and 90s after it was devastated by a big fire. The concrete outcome of the movement was the creation of the APARU, Area of Environmental Protection and Urban Regeneration, which meant that after more than seventy years under a system of tutelage by the Navy, the colony and the mangrove were subjected to an environmental form of governance administered by the City Council, and the mangrove went from being a taken-for-granted thing to an environmentally-oriented concept. It finally fell silent and isolated as it became increasingly polluted, even if ‘protected’ by a municipal decree. The main argument presented is that, as the mangrove passed from nature to environment, which implied a change in governance from the Navy to the Department of Environment, people found creative ways of holding on to its thingness, and to ethical values that at times conflict with the broader environmental assemblage. Those local ethics forge the links that sustain an ecological assemblage, and the ethics prescribed by the environmental governance currently in place can be undermined by more embedded values. That said, local knowledge and practices are environmentally informed, and different ways of being political emerge. This community was not only created literally on a mangrove, but it was also symbolically and politically reproduced through the mangrove, and even more so after it became a protected area. The dialectical outcomes of the relationships between human beings and the mangrove, and between human beings as they multiply, transform the landscape continuously, just as the mangrove in its perpetual unfolding impresses itself upon human matters and sustains the social ordering of things. As new elements are assembled around the mangrove, from discarded utensils to stories of environmental activism, the mangrove is enacted as heritage, as nature, as a biome, as culture, as pollution, as an institution, and as environment. This thesis hopes to contribute towards the broader body of literature on environmental anthropology, political ecology, and anthropology of moralities, by focusing on ‘human-disturbed environments’ (Tsing 2013) and bringing attention to the value of local perceptions in policy making.

Full textAbstract:
Small-scale fisheries represent an important sector for Tanzania’s economy and the contribution to the livelihood of people. In Lake Babati, fish stocks are decreasing, mainly because of illegal fishing methods. This study therefore aims at examining how the problems of illegal fishing affect the fishermen, as well as their perceptions of the implemented fish ban. By using semi-structured interviews, a seasonal calendar and a Venn diagram, the data was analysed through a Critical Institutionalist lens. The results show that the fish ban has not improved the situation and that the fisheries co-management in Lake Babati is weakly practiced. Furthermore, the complexity of socially embedded relations constrains the organisation among the fishermen. As a response to the inadequate management, the fishermen suggest other solutions for preventing illegal fishing.

Full textAbstract:
Overview
Laguna lake region, the biggest inland body of freshwater in the Philippines, where the fishery sector has become an important economic contributor locally and nationally. Currently, it is experiencing many challenges concerning decline in fisheries in the region. The lake has been affected by natural calamities which may lead to prolonged flooding, increasing levels of pollution from industrial, domestic wastewater and agriculture, fish kills and occurrence of invasive species in the past years. All of these are causing damages to public and private property and economic activities especially concerning local fishermen. The changes are in the hands of local people because these knowledge systems and practices may be helpful tools for understanding processes in the ecosystems and related changes and establishing local level responses to prevent negative impacts of such changes.
Method
The field investigation will be carried out in Barangay Mabato Asufre Pangil Laguna Philippines in
February 2020. The data concerning local ecological knowledge will be gathered thru free-listing, semistructured interviews, key informants/focus group discussions and personal interviews. Key respondents in the study area are local stakeholders including traditional fishers, farmers, and community leaders from BFARMC or “Bantay Lawa” and will be determined using snowball method. The qualitative, semi qualitative analysis, of the fishes and their uses with respect to past and present ecological knowledge are the products of several personal meetings with fishers and community leaders as well as consultations with fisheries managers. A total of 30 people will be directly interviewed from the community level and 3-5 officials from the related local government offices. Substantial amounts of secondary data related to fisheries management policies will be collected from government offices and from the works of experts in
the field of managing fisheries in freshwater resources, as well as consulting the meeting minutes of
community level organizations in the study area.
Expected Outcomes
I chose the project focus environmental diversity and community empowerment provided that the project that I am working on will promote the participation of all stakeholders by means of increasing the capacity of local people in protecting local freshwater resources while engaging local people more and in order for research institutions to work hand in hand with local government units and community based organizations to contribute in achieving collective efforts to address environmental challenges, to enhancing lake stewardship, inclusion or engaging the youth nowadays by promoting environmental education and raising their awareness. This research will be a collaboration among Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics of Ca Foscari University of Venice Italy together with concerned local government units and organizations such as one of the nearby high school in the village.

Resumo: Esta tese foi desenvolvida em três comunidades de pescadores artesanais de Ilhabela, localizadas no litoral norte do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. O objetivo geral foi analisar, por meio de levantamento etnoictiológico, análise da dieta e tabus alimentares, as interações os pescadores com os recursos pesqueiros, bem como a diversidade de uso dos peixes, visando entender os aspectos ambientais e culturais da interação homem-pesca-peixes. A coleta dos dados etnobiológicos foi realizada através de entrevistas com o auxílio de questionários semi-estruturados e fotos de espécies de peixes da região. Para a coleta dos dados sobre a dieta foram realizados recordatórios de 24 horas verificando os itens alimentares consumidos. Para as preferências e os tabus alimentares os pescadores e demais membros da família maiores de 18 anos foram entrevistados com roteiros estruturados. Foram coletados, fixados e identificados exemplares da ictiofauna presente nos desembarques acontecidos nas comunidades durante os períodos de coleta de dados. Os dados etnobiológicos foram analisados através de comparações com as informações científicas da literatura ictiológica. Os dados de dieta foram analisados através de índices de diversidade, amplitude de nicho, curvas de rarefação e teste t. Participaram desta pesquisa 15 famílias da praia da Serraria, 4 da praia do Jabaquara e 5 da praia da Fome, totalizando 26 entrevistas de etnoictiologia, 489 refeições amostradas e 26 entrevistas de preferências e tabus alimentares. De acordo com o conhecimento dos pescadores foi produzida uma listagem etnotaxonômica composta por 41 nomes genéricos e 17 binomiais e formados de 8 agrupamentos de peixes considerados "parentes". Estas e as demais informações sobre ecologia (alimentação, hábitat, predação e formação de cardumes) dos peixes apresentaram elevada concordância com a literatura cientifica. A dieta dos pescadores mostrou-se diversificada em relação ao total de itens alimentares consumidos e algumas diferenças foram identificadas na comparação entre as comunidades. Os pescadores preferem consumir peixes de escama e não consomem o baiacu, devido a sua característica tóxica. Alguns peixes são evitados em casos como feridas, inflamações, gravidez e pós parto e outros são indicados como peixes medicinais nestas situações. Tanto aspectos relativos à dieta, quanto ao consumo de pescado e a atividade de pesca fazem parte do corpo de conhecimento dos pescadores e suas famílias e constituem um acervo rico de informações que somadas as informações biológicas são úteis para a conservação dos recursos pesqueiros
Abstract: This thesis was developed in three communities of artisanal fishermen from Ilhabela, located on the northern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The general objective was to analyze, by means of an ethnoichthyological inventory, the diet analysis and food taboos, the fishermen interactions with fish resources as well as the diversity of fish use, focusing on the understanding of the environmental and cultural aspects of the man-fishing-fish interaction. The ethnobiological data was collected through interviews using semi-structured questionnaires and photos of fish species from the region. For the data collection on diet, recalls of 24 hours were carried out checking the food items consumed; about the preferences and food taboos among fishermen and other family members over 18 were interviewed with structured guide. The specimens of the fish fauna present in the landings occurred in communities, during periods of data collection were collected, identified and fixed. The ethnobiological data was analyzed throughout comparisons with the scientific literature of ichthyology. The diet data were analyzed using indices of diversity, niche amplitude, rarefaction curve and T-test. This research included 15 families from Serrania beach, 4 from Jabaquara beach and 5 from Fome beach, totaling 26 interviews of ethnoichthyology, 489 meals sampled and 26 interviews with food preferences and taboos. According to the knowledge of fishermen an ethnotaxonomic list was produced encompassing of 41 folk names, 17 binomials and 8 groups of fish considered related among themselves. These and other information about fish ecology (food, habitat, predation and shoal formation) are in high concordance with the scientific literature. The diet of fishermen showed to be diverse in relation to the total number of food items consumed and some differences were identified when comparing communities. The Fishermen prefer to consume scale fish and not to consume the puffer fish, due to its toxic characteristic. Some fish are avoided in cases such as wounds, inflammations, pregnancy and post partum and other fish are recommended as medical treatment in these situations. Aspects related to the diet, as well as the consumption of fish and the fishing activities are part of the body of knowledge of the fishermen and their families, and constitute a rich body of information that added up to the biological information is useful to the conservation of fish resources

Full textAbstract:
On January 1, 2007, the Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources in the Department of Marine Resources of the Bahamas promulgated significant revisions to their sports-fishing regulations. While the new laws were designed to benefit the Bahamian fisheries, they caused a vociferous uproar among non-resident anglers who frequent the islands of the Bahamas to sports-fish. Of particular concern are the new regulations that limit the maximum weight and number of fish which non-resident anglers may keep on their boat. My research examines the claims-making activities made by American anglers on four different sports-fishermen/cruising forums. The analysis focuses on the motifs, rhetorical idioms, counterrhetorical strategies, and styles among sports-fishermen who fish the Bahamas.M.A.

Full textAbstract:
Sharks and manta rays are being heavily fished in Indonesia due to Asian demand for shark fins and manta gill rakers. The Indonesian government passed legislation in February 2014 to protect the two species of manta rays. A number of shark species have also been protected or banned from export. A major factor in this decision was the proven economic benefits from ecotourism compared to the economic benefits from the shark finning and manta gill industry.However, previous research on marine conservation underlines that there is a lack of social scientific studies on the socio-economic impacts that marine conservation have on stakeholder fishing communities. In an attempt to start filling this gap of knowledge, the purpose of this thesis was to investigate how the shark and manta ray conservation efforts affect the socio-economic situation of different stakeholder fishing communities in Indonesia. Fieldwork was done in fishing communities in the Komodo and Nusa Penida regions, together with the fishing village Tanjung Luar in Lombok, where people in fishing communities were interviewed about their livelihood situation. The study found that the impacts of marine conservation on the economic situation for stakeholder fishermen affects their attitude towards and compliance with marine conservation efforts. If no profitable economic alternatives are given to fishing, fishing communities have a lower degree of compliance with conservation efforts.

This dissertation aimed to analyze the social and economic effects generated by the prohibition of a lobster fishing with the web, and what actions and strategies were adopted by families and government front to these changes. It is important to understand how the reorganized life, everyday life and the attainment of, the families, as well as what measures are planned and implemented by the government, given the approval of the Management Plan for Sustainable Use, guiding document for public policies. With the implementation of the prohibithion of lobster fishing laws with the web, the fishing community Pontal has undergone a significant process of social and economic change. Thus, the present study sought to account for this dynamic throughout the analysis. For this, we use them, especially lifting, cataloging and document analysis as well as interviews with the actors involved. As the work was the proposal to analyze social and economic effects of the legislation in the fishing community of Pontal, treated a detailed case study focused on the analysis of a controversy. Thus, this paper also proposed to do an analysis of qualitative and critical of the proposed policy, adopted or not, the public and private power, and identify the strategies adopted by fishermen and their families in order to obtain their means life. Given the observed facts can be concluded that the new legislation has caused changes in the livelihoods of fishermen and their families through the conflicts that arise around a law that regulates the use of natural resources and does not promote aggregation of these fishermen around an identity. This is primarily because the decision-making process that has established these standards and rules for use of such resources was made in a space that did not take into account the particularities of the fishing community Pontal.
Esta dissertação teve como objetivo principal analisar os efeitos sociais e econômicos gerados pela proibição da pesca de lagosta com a rede, e quais ações e estratégias foram adotadas pelas famílias e poder público frente a essas mudanças. Importa entender como se reorganizou a vida, o cotidiano e a obtenção dos ganhos, pelas famílias, bem como quais as medidas previstas e implantadas pelo poder público, haja vista a aprovação do Plano de Gestão do Uso Sustentável, documento norteador de políticas públicas. Com a implementação da legislação da proibição da pesca de lagosta com a rede, a comunidade pesqueira do Pontal tem passado por um significativo processo de mudança social e econômica. Assim, o presente trabalho procurou dar conta dessa dinâmica ao longo da análise. Para tanto, utilizamo-nos, sobretudo, de levantamento, catalogação e análise documental, bem como da realização de entrevistas com os atores sociais envolvidos. Como o trabalho teve a proposta de analisar os efeitos sociais e econômicos provocados pela legislação na comunidade pesqueira do Pontal, tratouse de um estudo de caso detalhado, focado na análise de uma controvérsia. Desta forma, o presente trabalho também se propôs a fazer uma análise de caráter qualitativo e crítico acerca das políticas propostas, adotadas ou não, pelo poder público e privado, bem como identificar as estratégias adotadas por pescadores e suas famílias a fim de obterem seus meios de vida. Diante dos fatos observados pode se concluir que a nova legislação tem provocado mudanças nos meios de vida dos pescadores e de suas famílias que surgem através dos conflitos em torno de uma legislação que regula o uso dos recursos naturais e não promove a agregação desses pescadores ao redor de uma identidade. Isso ocorre principalmente porque o processo decisório que estabeleceu essas normas e regras para utilização de tais recursos foi constituído num espaço que não levou em conta as particularidades da comunidade pesqueira do Pontal.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this project, as a minor field study, is to study the fishermen and their beliefs and worship in Việt Nam. Since the worship of the fishermen exists all along the coast from the Gulf of Thailand in the south to Ha Long Bay and beyond in the north, the study is concentrated to the coastal area of central Việt Nam – that is in the Quảng Nam surroundings, mainly Hội An but also Đà Nẵng. The aspects of the representation of the worship in society as well as how it is looked upon by society, both religiously (according to tôn giáo) and politically, will also be dealt with. This study is based upon observation and non-structured interviews. Although partially being based upon Grounded theory, the study is theoretically inspired by Graham Harvey’s book Animism. Respecting the Living World. The outcome shows that the Cá Ông worship is based upon historical events and experiences. The worship, which is carried out among all fishermen, is similar throughout the coast though the dates of worship may vary. Politically the religion is not necessarily threatened, although the 1992 Constitution is somewhat ambiguous. In society, the religion is respected, but peasants do not intermingle in festival activities concerning the fishermen’s traditions. There are links to be found dealing with the arguments of Harvey when it comes to animist beliefs and features of Cá Ông.
Le but de cette étude de champ c’est d’étudier les pêcheurs de Viét Nam et leur confianceen et leur affection à Cá Ông. Puisque la confiance des pêcheurs dit-on existe le long du chemin du sud , de la baie de Thailand, à Ha Long Bay au nord, l’étude a été concentrée à la côte du Viét Nam central surtout la province de Quang Nam, concentrée à Hôi An et aussi Dà Nang.
Comment la croyance des pêcheurs est representée dans la société et comment la société regarde la pratique vont être traité d’un perspectif politique et religieux. L’étude s’est basée sur l’observation participante sur des interviews semistructurelles. Partiellement la théorie est liée à l’Animisme respectant le monde vivant de Graham Harvey basé sur Grounded Theory. Le résumé montre que la croyance en Cà Ông est basée sur des événementset des experiences historiques. La prière pratiquée par tous les pêcheurs est faite à la même facon même si les dates pour les festivaux et les ceremonies diffèrent. Politiquement la croyance est respectée et en partie reconnue, mais les paysans n’assistent pas aux festivals concernant des traditions des pêcheurs.
Il y a des parallèles entre l’opinion d’Harvey sur l’Animisme et les parties animistes trouvées dans la croyance en Cá Ông.
Nội dung của bài học tự do này là học và nguyên cứu về những người ngư dân ở việt nam về sự tín ngưỡng và tôn thờ của họ đối với Cá Ông (Whale). Theo những tin đồn của những người ngư dân đã cho thấy Cá Ông tồn tại dài theo biển của ThaiLan và xuống dưới phía nam của vịnh Hạ Long và sau đó tiếp tục lên phía bắc và ở đây bài luận này chỉ chú trọng nhất đến những ngư dân của vùng biển trung tâm Việt Nam tức là tỉnh Quảng nam, trong đó có Đà nẵng và chú trọng nhất là ở Hội An. Những gì tin, mê tín và tín ngưỡng của ngư dân là điển quan trọng được diễn biến thực tế trong xã hội đời sống ngay nay, và những gì xã hội thấy được sự thử thách sẽ diễn ra cả hai bên, như tôn giáo và cũng như trong lĩnh vực chính trị. Trong bài luận này cơ bản là gặp gở sinh viên đã trực tiếp quan sát và học hỏi những tư liệu cũng như những cuộc thẩm vấn thực tế. Lý thuyết của bài học này là một phần có liên quan đến Grahamn Harvey’s Animism. (Thuyết duy linh đối với duy vật) Respecting the Living World (Tôn trọng thế giới của sinh vật sống). Phần kết luận cho chúng ta thấy rằng sự tồn tại của Cá Ông là căn bản của những câu chuyện đã xảy ra va kinh nghiệm của ngư dân. Lễ cúng cá ông, được ngư dân thường tổ chức ở vùng biển và diễn ra hàng năm như thường lệ, nhưng ngày va mùa cúng thì có vùng lại khác nhau. Trong lĩnh vực chính trị cho thấy, sư tín ngưỡng của của ngư dân đã được tôn trọng và một phần được ông chứng trong xã hội, nhưng không phải ai cũng thờ cúng cá ông ví dụ, những người làm nghề nông thì khác chẳng hạn, họ không cúng Cá Ông như ngư dân làm biển. Ngược lại Lễ cúng cá ông đã trở thành một phong tục truyền thống của riêng ngư dân. Quan điểm của Harvey’s về thuyết duy linh đối với duy vật nó song song với nhưng linh thiêng vể, thần linh mà con người đối với Cá Ông.

Full textAbstract:
Based on 10 months’ qualitative fieldwork and the filming of a documentary conducted on the islands of Lampedusa and Fuerteventura, this thesis examines ground-level Europeanisation, concentrating on two well-established Communitarian policy frames -- the Common Fishery Policy (CFP) and the management of the external border of the Schengen space of free movement of people – and two populations of artisanal fishers who were exposed to them. It analyses how governmental logics operated on the ground through individuals’ engagement with Communitarian policies, and it reconstructs the major transformations that the two islands’ fishing industries underwent in the duree of more than fifty years of European integration. While until less than thirty years ago the economy of the Italian island of Lampedusa was centred on bluefish fishing and canning industries, on the Spanish island of Fuerteventura most islanders lived from agriculture for centuries. Following the European integration of Italy and Spain, both islands turned into major tourist destinations and the centres of frequent European migration crises. By focusing on these two territories, this investigation explores how EU governance contributed to transforming the local sociocultural and economic fabric and the islanders’ everyday life. Following the overview of how both policies were played out on the ground, I analyse the effects that the CFP produced on the two islands, and those that the management of the European external border generated in Lampedusa. Giving centrality to the marine element, I push the study of Europeanisation towards the sea and reveal how European policies had reconfigured the islanders’ relation with the seawaters surrounding them. Concurrently, by exploring the ways in which individuals interacted with EU governmentalities, I also unearth the several unintended consequences of Communitarian governance – as conservation policies aiming at recovering overfished fish stocks actually generated the conditions for increasing and uncontrolled overexploitation, while border policies for the securitisation of the European space de facto de-securitized life in Lampedusa.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail propose une contribution originale à la compréhension du comportement spatial des pêcheurs, basée sur les paradigmes de l'écologie comportementale et de l'écologie du mouvement. En s'appuyant sur des données du 'Vessel Monitoring System', nous étudions le comportement des pêcheurs d'anchois du Pérou à des échelles différentes: (1) les modes comportementaux au sein des voyages de pêche (i.e. recherche, pêche et trajet), (2) les patrons comportementaux parmi les voyages de pêche, (3) les patrons comportementaux par saison de pêche conditionnés par des scénarios écosystémiques et (4) les patrons spatiaux des positions de modes comportementaux, que nous utilisons pour la création de cartes de probabilité de présence d'anchois. Pour la première échelle, nous comparons plusieurs modèles Markoviens (modèles de Markov et semi-Markov cachés) et discriminatifs (forêts aléatoires, machines à vecteurs de support et réseaux de neurones artificiels) pour inférer les modes comportementaux associés aux trajectoires VMS. L'utilisation d'un ensemble de données pour lesquelles les modes comportementaux sont connus (grâce aux données collectées par des observateurs embarqués), nous permet d'entraîner les modèles dans un cadre supervisé et de les valider. Les modèles de semi-Markov cachés sont les plus performants, et sont retenus pour inférer les modes comportementaux sur l'ensemble de données VMS. Pour la deuxième échelle, nous caractérisons chaque voyage de pêche par plusieurs descripteurs, y compris le temps passé dans chaque mode comportemental. En utilisant une analyse de classification hiérarchique, les patrons des voyages de pêche sont classés en groupes associés à des zones de gestion, aux segments de la flottille et aux personnalités des capitaines. Pour la troisième échelle, nous analysons comment les conditions écologiques donnent forme au comportement des pêcheurs à l'échelle d'une saison de pêche. Via des analyses de co-inertie, nous trouvons des associations significatives entre les dynamiques spatiales des pêcheurs, des anchois et de l'environnement, et nous caractérisons la réponse comportementale des pêcheurs selon des scénarios environnementaux contrastés. Pour la quatrième échelle, nous étudions si le comportement spatial des pêcheurs reflète dans une certaine mesure la répartition spatiale de l'anchois. Nous construisons un indicateur de la présence d'anchois à l'aide des modes comportementaux géo-référencés inférés à partir des données VMS. Ce travail propose enfin une vision plus large du comportement de pêcheurs: les pêcheurs ne sont pas seulement des agents économiques, ils sont aussi des fourrageurs, conditionnés par la variabilité dans l'écosystème. Pour conclure, nous discutons de la façon dont ces résultats peuvent avoir de l'importance pour la gestion de la pêche, des analyses de comportement collectif et des modèles end-to-endThis work proposes an original contribution to the understanding of fishermen spatial behavior, based on the behavioral ecology and movement ecology paradigms. Through the analysis of Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) data, we characterized the spatial behavior of Peruvian anchovy fishermen at different scales: (1) the behavioral modes within fishing trips (i.e., searching, fishing and cruising); (2) the behavioral patterns among fishing trips; (3) the behavioral patterns by fishing season conditioned by ecosystem scenarios; and (4) the computation of maps of anchovy presence proxy from the spatial patterns of behavioral mode positions. At the first scale considered, we compared several Markovian (hidden Markov and semi-Markov models) and discriminative models (random forests, support vector machines and artificial neural networks) for inferring the behavioral modes associated with VMS tracks. The models were trained under a supervised setting and validated using tracks for which behavioral modes were known (from on-board observers records). Hidden semi-Markov models performed better, and were retained for inferring the behavioral modes on the entire VMS dataset. At the second scale considered, each fishing trip was characterized by several features, including the time spent within each behavioral mode. Using a clustering analysis, fishing trip patterns were classified into groups associated to management zones, fleet segments and skippers' personalities. At the third scale considered, we analyzed how ecological conditions shaped fishermen behavior. By means of co-inertia analyses, we found significant associations between fishermen, anchovy and environmental spatial dynamics, and fishermen behavioral responses were characterized according to contrasted environmental scenarios. At the fourth scale considered, we investigated whether the spatial behavior of fishermen reflected to some extent the spatial distribution of anchovy. Finally, this work provides a wider view of fishermen behavior: fishermen are not only economic agents, but they are also foragers, constrained by ecosystem variability. To conclude, we discuss how these findings may be of importance for fisheries management, collective behavior analyses and end-to-end models

A sustentabilidade dos recursos naturais, inclusive pesqueiros, tem sido pauta de discussão há décadas. A sensação de infinito, que por vezes temos do mar, parece que se estende aos recursos ali encontrados. O saber científico e o saber popular convergem num só alerta: sem medidas urgentes e realmente eficazes, a lagosta pode se acabar como atividade econômica. O Ceará ainda é o principal estado da federação na exportação do crustáceo, mas o item, que por muito tempo esteve em primeiro lugar na pauta de exportações do Estado, hoje está na quarta colocação. Este estudo consiste em verificar junto aos pescadores artesanais da Praia das Frexeiras, BeberibeCe, a visão dos mesmos sobre a Sustentabilidade da pesca da Lagosta. Para alcançar esta finalidade, utilizou-se dados de origem primária, obtidos através de questionários envolvendo as questões referentes aos aspectos pessoais e sociais da família, profissionais, bens de produção, defeso da lagosta e segurodesemprego,contemplando a população de 33 pescadores, todos beneficiários do Programa de Seguro Desemprego ao Pescador Artesanal. Fez-se a gravação de entrevistas, que relatavam o pensamento deles sobre o assunto e utilizou-se também a observação científica. Conclui-se que os pescadores artesanais da Praia das Frexeiras em Beberibe-Ce, são possuidores de um senso crítico formador de opinião sobre a Sustentabilidade da pesca da Lagosta. Torna-se então necessário, que haja uma união de esforços para que num período de curto, médio e longo prazo sejam definidas ações de cunho prático, visando assim, a reestruturação do setor lagosteiro e por conseqüência, a sustentabilidade da atividade

Full textAbstract:
In upcoming decades, the conservation and sustainable use of coastal and marine resources will become a major political and environmental challenge, as two-thirds of the world's population lives in coastal zones. The issue will likely become more problematic in developing countries, where an important number of coastal inhabitants still rely on marginal extractive activities such as fishing, farming and cattle ranching for subsistence, and where the rural poor's demand for development often lead to unsustainable extractive practices. Thus, innovative solutions need to be developed to ensure the long-term conservation and sound management of marine and coastal resources. This Masters thesis addresses the case of Coiba National Park, a marine protected area located in the Gulf of Chiriqui, Panama, and its relationship with coastal fishing and farming communities located at its outskirt. Particularly, this thesis aims to discover the drivers that pushed an important number of coastal agro-pastoralists of Coiba National Park's buffer zone to switch to artisanal fishing over the past three decades, and to determine the social, economic, and environmental impacts that resulted from that switch. In addition, this thesis analyses the relationship between Coiba National Park's authorities and buffer zone communities, and how this relationship has evolved over the years as more and more resource-users exploit the marine resources of the park. Finally, this work analyses Coiba National Park's current management strategy, how park authorities have been able to adapt their planning and management activities over the years, and explores alternatives to improve Coiba National Park's management strategy so that it can better adapt to the ever changing social, economic, and environmental conditions in which Coiba National Park's buffer zone operates.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOREste trabalho busca compreender os fatores que permitem a sobrevivência de uma comunidade tradicional em meio aos processos de metropolização de uma cidade. Procuramos descrever os processos que dificultam tal sobrevivência, bem como as múltiplas intencionalidades envolvidas neste tipo de reprodução social cujo resultado é, muitas vezes, contraditório. Nosso objetivo é contribuir para o entendimento de processos atuais aparentemente conflitantes, mas que, se investigados com profundidade, passam a ser vistos como peças de um jogo dominante cuja principal finalidade é reproduzir a si próprio. O texto está organizado em três capítulos. O primeiro discute a idéia de comunidade e tradição nos tempos atuais, focando no papel social que tais categorias podem representar. Partimos da idéia de Manuel Castells que afirma ser a formação de comunidades a partir da construção de identidades de resistência o ponto de partida para mudanças estruturais. O segundo capítulo trata da questão do desenvolvimento tomado como sinônimo de modernização e ocidentalização e que orienta uma lógica homogeneizadora das cidades que desconsidera as possibilidades reais de transformação social a partir de desenvolvimentos endógenos e autônomos. Baseamos nosso pensamento nos autores João Rua e Marcelo Lopes de Souza. Por último, o capítulo três retoma o potencial transformador da vivência da multiterritorialidade baseada em múltiplas identidades. Neste sentido, trabalhamos com Rogério Haesbaert, Marcos Saquet e Denise Fonseca. A pesquisa empírica toma como estudo de caso a comunidade de pescadores de Copacabana, situada no Rio de Janeiro, e a metodologia empregada compreendeu entrevistas e observações de campo, bem como pesquisas em arquivos pessoais e institucionais sobre a comunidade e a expansão urbana do bairro de Copacabana.
This work aims to understand the factors that enabled the survival of a traditional community within the processes of metropolisation an urban area. We tried to understand the processes that create obstacles to the survival, as well as the multiple intentions involved in this kind of social reproduction, whose outcomes are often contradictory. Our propose, therefore, is to contribute to the understanding of current processes seemingly conflicting, but that, if investigated in depth, come to be seen as parts of one dominant game whose main purpose is to reproduce itself. For such understanding, we work with a theoretical basis and an empirical research intertwined: a case study. The findings were organized in three chapters. The first one presents the idea of community and tradition, focusing on the social role that these categories may represent. We start with the idea of Manuel Castells who claims to be the formation of communities through the construction of identities of resistance the starting point for structural changes. The second chapter deals with the issue of development taken as a synonym of modernization and westernization and that guides a homogenizing logic of the cities, ignoring the real possibilities of social transformation from endogenous and autonomous development. We base our thinking the authors João Rua and Marcelo Lopes de Souza. Finally, chapter three incorporates the social potential of the experience of multiterritoriality based in multiple identities. In this sense, we work with Rogério Haesbaert, Marcos Saquet and Denise Fonseca. Empirical research takes as a case study the fishing community of Copacabana, located in Rio de Janeiro, and the methodology of the research comprised interviews and field observations, as well as research on personal files and settings on the community and urban expansion of the neighborhood of Copacabana.

Full textAbstract:
Brazil is a country with enormous social differences and, alongside the advancements of the industrialdevelopment and the creation of a modern society, a large part of the Brazilian population lives under fairly poor conditions, providing their subsistence by the practice of traditional knowledge; employing primitive tools and methods. One example is the sector of artisanal fishery, which at present accounts for about half of the active fishermen in Brazil (Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego, 2005). Even though these so called artisanal populations are not part of the industrialisation, they commonly suffer the consequences of the intense exploitation and unsustainable use of natural resources caused by the industrial development. The purpose of this report is to describe how the sustainability of the local artisanal fishermen population in Baía de Guanabara was affected by the oil spill at the Duque deCaxias refinery (REDUC) in January 2000. A further objective of the report is to answer how asustainable development of this population can be promoted in the future. In order to fulfil these objectives a field study was conducted in Baía de Guanabara, which included local fishermen fromfour different colonies and associations in the bay and key informants representing other stakeholders involved in the oil spill. In the report the impact of the accident on the artisanal fishermen population of Baía de Guanabara is described and several measures are discussed, which might be valuable inorder to promote a sustainable development of artisanal fishermen communities in the future.www.ima.kth.se

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about the mobility of northern Baikal hunters, reindeer herders and fishermen and their engagement with living in the world through the structures they build and use in the context of numerous development projects and innovations. This work suggests a shift from the ‘static perspective’ where local people’s spatial practices were analysed through the prism of their relationship to a particular stationary structure, such as a village or a hunter’s base to a dynamic one where a structure is interpreted as embedded in a complex network of movements connecting a number of locations. The houses or hunting log cabins that local people use within their routine do not exist separately from other practices. Therefore, this thesis approaches northern Baikal hunters and reindeer herders as people settled neither in the village nor in the forest, but rather as people moving in-between structures, which are not necessarily concentrated in one particular place. It analyses some spaces that are intensively used and others that are used occasionally or seasonally without creating a dichotomy. The way of life of northern Baikal hunters, reindeer herders and fishermen demonstrates a certain continuity. They always combined the use of stationary and mobile architecture as well as movements of different length with their daily tasks. Local people’s everyday practices were always based on intensive movements between numerous locations which functioned as points of constant return. Local people managed to incorporate numerous innovations and development projects by means of movements and for the purpose of movements. Hence, movements can be interpreted as a creative process which serves as an expression of local people’s own ideas and views. This is a thesis about people for whom to move means to live.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o modo de vida insular das ilhas Vitória e Monte de Trigo, no que ele possui de singular e em suas relações mais amplas com o continente. Parte-se da análise das questões pesqueira e de ocupação do espaço litorâneo, para em seguida verticalizar o estudo das comunidades de ilhéus monteiros e vitoreiros a partir de seu sistema de propriedade, das modalidades de uso dos recursos naturais e de seu modo de vida, que comporta a análise da divisão social do trabalho, da educação, da saúde, da religião e das relações que os ilhéus constróem com o continente. Foram identificados os problemas que interferem na reprodução do modo de vida insular e os mecanismos de subordinação da pequena produção pesqueira das ilhas ao mercado e ao capital industrial na pesca. As particularidades e singularidades destas comunidades foram apreendidas, comunidades que constróem sua identidade, seus espaços e territórios e seu não isolamento frente aos processos de apropriação dos recursos pesqueiros e de ocupação do espaço litorâneo e marítimo.

The Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology (BARA)-University of Arizona ethnographic team (UofA team) contracted with the National Park Service (NPS) Midwest Regional Office in 1998 to conduct an ethnographic and ethnohistoric study of commercial fishing activities at Isle Royale National Park (IRNP). The UofA team, having no connection with Isle Royale National Park, the commercial fishermen or their families who are the focus of this study, provides this report as an independent study of the ethnography and ethnohistory of commercial fishing at Isle Royale.
The purpose of this study is to document and analyze historic and contemporary commercial fishing in the immediate vicinity of ISLE ROYALE including the identification of specific ethnic or social groups who have both traditional and contemporary ties to this fishery. By identifying resource use areas and concerns that may affect NPS management responsibilities, the results of this study will aid managers to anticipate resource protection issues that may affect Isle Royale National Park. The ability to anticipate such issues will place managers in a better position to understand and deal with such issues specifically as these pertain to the development of further cultural and natural resource studies, interpretative programs, and management decisions.

Tamsui was a place full of arts and humanities in the past, but the fishing village scene has faded away now. The author ,who has been away from hometown for more than twenty years, entitled this study “Fishermen-Image” in order to recall the attachment to his childhood and land of hometown, what’s more, to reemerge the image of his father, who was also a tough fisherman before. Hopefully, Taiwan's fishing village culture can get attention from people again, and this study can make a contribution for the arts and humanities. Theoretically, author hope to make his own painting style through putting into practice the humanism. Realism stresses that performance of art is not only to emphasize on purely depicting appearances, but more to embrace a higher truth. From depicting the ordinary to create extraordinary value. The relationship between light and color would be explored through the impressionistic techniques. The changing on natural objects would be perceived with our observations and feelings. We want to emphasize that arts creation should be combined with the land, more importantly, with the identification of local culture. The oil paintings ,the media used in these works, faithfully demonstrate the interaction among “fishermen”,”ship”, “fish”, and “group”. Furthermore, author’s creative concept and personal feelings was revealed through those works . In this process, we realize that arts not only show the reality, but also "refine" a higher meaning and emotion from lives. Painting should convey the feelings and thoughts to move and resonate with people. Definitely, this is not the end but the beginning of another stage that triggers my next creation and research.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the fact that fishing is an inherently uncertain business, risk has rarely
been formally recognized in fisheries science or management. Few fishery
management plans include any form of risk assessment and those that do focus on
minimizing risk caused by uncertainty associated with markets and environmental
conditions. Fishermen's attitudes towards risk, whether they are risk-neutral, risk-averse,
or risk-prone, have rarely been considered. Although fishermen's attitudes
towards risk have been shown in theory to have an impact on fish populations, none of
the previous investigations precisely identified whether fishermen are risk-neutral, risk-averse,
or risk-prone.
This research attempted to identify fishermen's attitudes towards risk from an
analysis of their decisions about where to fish. The research applied risk-sensitive
foraging theory to an analysis of data from the Oregon trawl fishery for 1991. The
data were provided by the Oregon Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. One file
contained tow-by-tow information for each fishing trip on landings by species, time
spent fishing, type of gear, and fishing locations. A corresponding file contained trip-by-trip information on landings and price by species. The two data files were
screened for inconsistencies and then classified into small homogeneous categories
based on port, fishing gear, fishing area, and boat size.
Various variance-discounting models were fitted to each category to determine
fishermen's attitudes toward risk. The models describe the expected utility of fishing
at a given distance from port as a linear function of the mean, variance, and third
moment of the dollar value per hour of the retained catch. The unknown parameters
were estimated from the data using logistic regression techniques.
The results of the analysis indicated that in two of fifteen categories the
fishermen were risk-averse, and in four categories they were risk-neutral. However,
for the remaining nine categories the results were inconclusive and in some cases the
fishermen's choice of fishing locations appeared illogical. Instead of preferring fishing
grounds that generated higher profits, it appeared that fishermen actively avoided such
grounds. The inconclusive and sometimes illogical results may have been due to
inappropriate assumptions about the data and about the factors motivating fishermen's
decisions. Additionally, there might have been some factors that could have affected
the analysis which this research overlooked. For example, this research only
accounted for monetary rewards, but fishermen may have preferences other than
revenues and costs that influence their choice of fishing grounds.Graduation date: 1995

Fishermen Association is the bridge between fishermen and the government, and helps to fulfill fishermen’s needs. To support all kinds of activities, they heavily rely on profits of business operations, which are economical business, financial business, and service business. Recently, due to changes of macro environments and the accession of Taiwan in the WTO, the business profits of Fishermen Association decreased, and their credibility, extensions and services have been affected too. Thus, it is important to help the fishermen association to create new business to improve their profit, and then support the fishery industry and provide better services for fishermen. This study examine the Fishermen Association’s organization, function and position, and realize current status and difficulty of changing Fishermen Association’s business management. We also discussed the planning of creating new business under current regulations to help the Fishermen Association’s business operation, and assist to achieve business surplus increasing for Fishermen Association and services for fishermen. This research examines the macro foundations and circumstances of forty Fishermen Associations’ operation in Taiwan. Methodologies such as literatures review, data analysis, expert’s int, questionnaire survey and statistic analysis are applied. Empirical results indicated the major crisis that Fishermen Associations faced include: fisheries become faintness, the inability of research and development of Taiwan Fishermen Association, reduced government’s subsidy and support measures, lack of professional manager and capability etc. In addition, regarding the fisheries’ adjustment, according to survey results, service business is the key new business. Among them, recreational fisheries are the main choice for the Fishermen Association to develop in the future. Besides, due to multifunction and nonprofit of Fishermen Association task, and the weak support from the committee member readjustment of the objectives and functions of Fishermen Association is important too. In order to improve the operation effectiveness, the service quality and develop new businesses, following suggestions are provided：1). Amend the Fishermen Association Law, Article 4, Item 19, include merged, share system, and establish company to improve their business operation. 2). Apply the strategic alliance to every association to integrate core resource and improve their competition, 3). Make the work time and salary more flexibility, 4). Diagnosis each fishermen association individually, and provide training and workshop courses, 5). Cooperation with academic institute and research organization to assist the speed of specialized in business, and 6). Choose 5 associations around east、west、south, north and island, and put the core resource to help the development of running new business.

The goals of implementation of the National Health Insurance, an insurance system of social welfare enforced by law, consist of seeking social welfare, reducing financial burden of the disadvantaged and high-risk groups, and ensuring the availability of basic medical care to the public. The government ensures the mutual sharing characteristic of social welfare users’ financial responsibility by means of tax revenues and all or part of the insurance premium shared by the insured and insuring organizations. Fishery itself is an occupation of high risk, unstable income, and strenuous labor. In addition, the depletion of natural resources, severe contamination in the coastal waters, and re-occurrence of violence and bloodshed involving crew members further dampen the inclination of current younger generation to adopt the career of fishery, thus leading to the severe shortage in fishing labor. After implementation of the National Health Insurance Act, the government has targeted the fishermen by providing the supplemented-premium policy in order to optimize their health care. In other words, the Fishermen Health Insurance is a system of social insurance with which the government carries out its social policies, maintains the health of the fishermen, promotes the welfare of the fishing population, and improves the stability of fishing villages, with the main purpose of ensuring basic health care for the fishing population. Under current economic hardship facing the fishery business and the government’s implementation of the policy of fishing vessels reduction, the number of Class A members in the Fishermen’s Association and the insured under the Fishermen’s Health Insurance should theoretically be decreasing yearly. However, the number of Class A members in the Fishermen’s Association increased from 238,681 in 1997 to 342,411 in 2003, representing a 43% increase. The number of the insured fishermen and their families also increased from 445,365 in 1997 to 603,956 in 2002, equaling a growth of 36%. There are some possible underlying reasons for the above phenomena. The supplemented-premium policy by the government which allows low self-paid premiums by the fishermen could foster unethical insuring behavior such false reporting of fishermen identity. The imperfection in regulation and loose criteria in screening for the qualification for fishermen health insurance were the main reasons that brought about these abnormal phenomena. If there is no proper correction of the current situation, the limited resources of the government’s welfare policy for the fishing population will be abused, and as a consequence, will negatively influence the development of our country’s fishery business. The original purpose of implementation of the National Health Insurance will also be defeated. This study uses information from survey questionnaires sent to fishermen as well as data from related administrative departments in charge of the Fishermen’s Health Insurance, including the city and county governments and fishermen’s associations. This study analyzes the data in regards to various adjustments in the health insurance premiums and reviews the current system and regulations. Integrating the results of the analysis, this study discusses the proper regulatory system and policy for the Fishermen’s Health Insurance. The following conclusions are based on the results of this study: 1) The number of members in the fishermen’s associations do not accurately reflect the number of those who are actually engaged in the fishery business; 2) The government should reinforce the regulations on members of the fishermen’s associations and restrict the owners of the fishing vessels from hiring crew members; 3) Requiring basic safety training for fishing crew and the implementation of the newly revised “Review of Qualification and Criteria of Certification for the Fishermen’s Associations in Taiwan Province” can effectively reduce the inappropriate enrollment of non-fishing population in the Fishermen’s Health Insurance; 4) Fishermen would not likely object to a basic application fee for Fishing Crew Identification; 5) The government can provide more welfare policies for the fishing population since they are still inadequate compared to other labor force; 6) If the government can effectively regulate the member qualification for the fishermen’s associations and reduce the member numbers by 20%, the government will be able to raise the insurance premium supplement from the initial 70% to 75% without suffering any additional financial burden, and thus can affirm the policy of caring for the fishing population. In order to enforce the government’s policy on caring for the fishing population, the author has the following suggestions based on the results of this study: 1) The government should establish regulations on member qualification for the fishermen’s associations to reflect the actual number of those who are in the business of fishery; 2) The government should restrict the owners of fishing vessels from hiring a large number of fishing crew and implement the unemployment financial assistance for the fishermen; 3) After effective control of the member number of the fishermen’ associations, the government should accordingly increase the proportion of the insured in the fishing population in order to attract more fishing labor; 4) The government can charge proper application fees for Fishing Crew Identification and transfer these funds into the Fishermen Benefit Foundation to ultimately benefit the fishermen.

The methods of reference and comparison analysis were applied in this study in order to understand the essence of the Japanese strategy, “fisherman income compensation”. We aim this study to analyze the key to the succeed of Japanese fisherman strategy. Moreover, by comparing the strategy with Taiwanese fishery, we hope to find out how this strategy could benefit Taiwan. The results are as fallowing： 1.The WTO fisheries compensation which does not contribute to a sustainable development for fishery should all be abolished. On the premise of resource conservation, any fisherman compensation which would lead to an irregular production of fishery or price distortions in the market should all be banned, especially those associated with fishing practices of production, which have to be thoroughly eliminated. 2.In 2011, Japan decided to apply “the source management and Fisherman income compensation strategy”. There are two reasons for Japan to apply this strategy. Firstly, according to the international agreement, they have income supported by WTO. Secondly, Japanese agricultural price compensation has been offered in the income of Japanese fisherman. That strategy has become the core strategy in Japan as Basic Plan for Fishery, at the same promoting time the “Fishery business stabilization and resources restoration.” 3.In Japan, various stages of fishing safety net can all comply with the changing tendency toward domestic and international fishing environment. In order to make the fishery compensation more comprehensive and better, Japan makes adjustments on the policies from time to time based on the pragmatic needs of the industry. 4.There are five essential elements for the practice of this strategy in Japan. The first one is effective laws and regulations; the second one involves complete operating system; the third one is the complete fisherman mutual insurance and the reservation of provident fund; the forth elements is the implementation of resource management; the last one involves the clarification of fishermen's income and the revenue of fishery. The expected benefits includes promoting the stability of fishery for operators, improving fishermen's funds management, the incubation and guarantee of successors, the implementation of management diagnosis and the system of accumulation fund, which is different from insurance and is fully refundable. 5.In addition, only two compensation items in Taiwan, the reward of catching protection and the purchase of old fishing boats, put emphasis on the reduction of efforts in fishing and guarantee a sustainable fishery development. Some of the compensation items focus on directly reducing operating costs for fishermen, such as the oil compensation and encouraging insurance on fishing rafts. ASCM range of WTO will be the motive of people complaint, therefore the government should be active to adjust those item timely.
