Archaeologists working on California’s northern Channel Islands have produced an essentially continuous record of Native American fishing and nearshore ecological changes spanning the last 12,000 years. To search for evidence of Pauly’s ‘‘fishing down the foodweb’’ pattern typical of recent historical fisheries, we analyzed variation in the dietary importance of major marine faunal classes (she...

In February 2023, an oil tanker carrying 5660 bbl of industrial fuel sank off Naujan in the Philippines, causing spill waters Oriental Mindoro and nearby provinces. The disaster affected fishing communities as well marine ecosystems including Verde Island Passage, which is at “center world’s biodiversity”. This study assessed immediate social economic impacts this on various coast. We conducted...

The Alutiiq, Indigenous inhabitants of the coastal regions Southwest Alaska, created garments made from fish skins, especially salmon, expertly sewn by women Kodiak Island. Traditionally, Alutiiq education focused on acquiring survival skills: how to navigate seas in all weathers, hunting, fishing and tanning animal skins. Today, many people continue provide for their families through subsisten...

The diversity of fish consumed in Bangladesh is a key aspect of diet and culture. Although total fish production in Bangladesh has been rising due to aquaculture, there are widespread concerns for loss and overexploitation of floodplain capture fisheries. The two are not effectively the same, because the resulting diversity of fish differs under each circumstance, as does access to fish and res...

By the terms set by international agreements for the conservation of Yukon River salmon, 2009 was a management success. It was a devastating year for many of the Alaska Native communities along the Yukon River, however, especially in up-river communities, where subsistence fishing was closed in order to meet international conservation goals for Chinook salmon. By the end of summer, the smokehou...

the present study considered the situation of kilka stocks in last decades by using overfished biomass threshold, fishing effort ratio and fishing mortality proxy during 1991-2010. the cpue index of anchovy and mixed-species of kilka indicated an undepleted from 1991 to 2000. in 2000, the cpue ratio declined to close to the “in danger” region, and subsequently collapsed to “overfished” region f...

In this paper we seek to explain the causes and consequences of Northern penetration in Southern subsistence markets in order to reach the countless masses at the Bottom of the (Income) Pyramid. To this end we formulate a One-North-Many-Souths model, inspired by the Krugman (1979) North-South model. In our model, Southern countries are differentiated with respect to population size, but also th...

The objective of this paper was to study angling from September, 2002 to September, 2004 in the Lobo-Broa Reservoir, Itirapina, SP (22 degrees 15' S and 47 degrees 49' W). Interviews (total 1,027) with sport fishers were accomplished in the three main fishing sites (Horto, Píer and Praia). This fishing was practiced with a simple fishing rod and reel, mainly in Horto, where the catches and fish...

Biodiverse coastal zones are often areas of intense fishing pressure due to the high relative density of fishing capacity in these nearshore regions. Although overcapacity is one of the central challenges to fisheries sustainability in coastal zones, accurate estimates of fishing pressure in coastal zones are limited, hampering the assessment of the direct and collateral impacts (e.g., habitat ...

The paper is based on empirical research of a territorial transect in Cambodia’s Tonle Sap floodplain. flooded forests the Lake are determined by significant seasonal flood up to 13 m, where large gradient wetness and alluvia flow dramatically transform territory. zooms into case study inhabited RAMSAR area Boeng Chhmar with its five floating villages, which dispersed along waterways. one riche...
