Abstract The role of inland fisheries in livelihoods, food security and sustainable development is often overshadowed by the higher profile interest ocean issues. Whilst fisheries' catch contribution to global nutrition, economy, are less than that marine fisheries, global‐level comparisons fish production obscure considerable livelihood impacts certain countries sub‐national areas. To highlight these contributions, this paper synthesizes recent data innovative approaches for assessing such...
Blue foods play a central role in food and nutrition security for billions of people are cornerstone the livelihoods, economies, cultures many coastal riparian communities. extraordinarily diverse, often rich essential micronutrients fatty acids, can be produced ways that more environmentally sustainable than terrestrial animal-source foods. Capture fisheries constitute largest wild-food resource human extraction would challenging to replace. Yet, despite their unique value, blue have been...
Abstract The international development community is off-track from meeting targets for alleviating global malnutrition. Meanwhile, there growing consensus across scientific disciplines that fish plays a crucial role in food and nutrition security. However, this ‘fish as food’ perspective has yet to translate into policy funding priorities. We argue the traditional framing of natural resource emphasizes economic biodiversity conservation objectives, whereas situating within systems can lead...

For millennia humans have extracted biological and physical resources from the planet to sustain societies enable development of technology infrastructure. Growth in human population changing consumption patterns increased footprint on ecosystems their biodiversity, including fresh waters. Freshwater biodiversity face many threats it is now widely accepted that we are a crisis. One means protecting restoring freshwater better manage exploitation biota aggregate (e.g., sand, gravel,...
ABSTRACT Use of digital tools is rapidly transforming the world, and Information Communications Technology (ICT) integration in fisheries presents great opportunities for enhancing fishing‐dependent livelihoods. This article employed latent class analysis a multinomial logistic regression to explore preferred fish traders address problem lack access market information. Results from sample 548 participants show heterogeneous preferences among who can be classified into three subgroups:...
Within environmental governance scholarship, an increasing interest in integrating the study of power with institutional analysis is generating novel theoretical and empirical perspectives for understanding human-environment relationships. The array different approaches employed to integrate into institutionalist work promises a range insights. However, building cohesive research agenda depends on efforts grapple conceptual diversity that characterizes power. To this end, we introduce...
Harvesting has received most theoretical, empirical, and policy attention towards understanding common-pool resource dilemmas. Yet, pre-harvesting post-harvesting activities influence harvesting outcomes as well. Broadening the analytical focus beyond is needed to imagine new ways of theorizing governing commons. Fishing—which synonymous with harvesting—is a case in point. We contribute beyond-harvesting research agenda by incorporating concepts from resources theory that have not enough...
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,...
