ABSTRACT Although sparse, increasing evidence suggests an overlooked population of fishers whose fishing motivations and outcomes overlap across commercial, subsistence recreational sectors, resulting in underrepresented groups management policy frameworks. These participate what we frame as “provisioning fisheries,” a concept propose to highlight the values from fisheries recreational, sociocultural, psychological, economic, health, nutritional dimensions. We argue that provisioning often...
Abstract This paper presents an agenda for the future of gender research in small‐scale fisheries (SSF). Building on expert insight from scholars who gathered during 4th World Small‐Scale Fisheries Congress Africa (4WSFC) with a synthesis existing literature, we identify six topics that warrant investigation SSF, along methodological considerations addressing them. Research priorities include identifying pathways towards (1) equitable participation governance and decision‐making, (2) valuing...
Abstract Aquatic foods are critical for food and nutrition security in Malawi, but it is unclear which populations benefit from different aquatic what factors shape access. Spatial analysis of flows across value chains Lake Malawi to domestic consumers shows that usipa ( Engraulicypris sardella ) reaches more than chambo Oreochromis karongae all districts, particularly rural populations. Higher number markets, nutrient content, overall supply coupled with lower retail prices volumes make...
Abstract Women play key roles in fish value chains, especially post-harvest processing and marketing of products. However, gendered inequities small-scale fishery chains persist around the globe, limiting livelihood benefits for many women their households. This study uses a mixed methods approach to investigate how gender norms shape margins retailers chains. In empirical case usipa ( Engraulicypris sardella ) trade Malawi, we find that there is nearly equal participation retail between...
Anthropogenic stressors such as land-use change, habitat degradation, and climate change stress inland fish populations globally. Such ecological disturbances can affect actors throughout the social-ecological system by contributing to uncertainty in landings, landing prices, coastal incomes. Most literature date on resilience of fishing sector has focused (production), fisheries management, livelihoods fishers, whereas little attention been paid post-harvest processors, logistics providers,...
Abstract Inland small-scale fisheries provide important ecosystem services in sub-Saharan Africa as a source of nutritious food to over 200 million people and offer avenues for countries attain Sustainable Development Goal 2. However, there is dearth knowledge on the pathways fish security, especially case inland fisheries, which are often underrepresented research policy discussions. We review literature from 2010 present assess how systems, specifically those associated with Africa, relate...
