Get an annotated online bibliography on small-scale fisheries and fishing communities. Resources are classified under eight themes: Right to Resources, Gender in Fisheries and Aquaculture, Disasters and Climate Change, Decent Work, Fisheries Trade, Aquaculture, Biodiversity and SSF Guidelines
Women engage in a wide range of activities in fisheries, including paid and unpaid work and liaison with institutions. In several countries, women dominate inland fishing and aquaculture. Their play multiple roles – in seafood processing plants, as caregivers in the family, as the builders of social networks and community.
Gender issues focus not on women only but on their relationship with men, on their roles, rights and responsibilities. They acknowledge that these vary within and between cultures as well as by class, race, ethnicity, age and marital status.
The 2014 SSF Guidelines are based on the principle of gender equality and equity. They integrate gender issues into all small-scale fisheries development strategies.
Biodiversity indicators provide a vital window on the state of the planet, guiding policy development and management. The most widely adopted marine indicator is mean trophic level (MTL) from catches,...
Using estimates of the primary production required(PPR) to support fisheries catches (a measure ofthe footprint of fishing), this paper analyzes the geographical expansion of the global marine fisheries from 1950...
This report gives the findings of a study commissioned by WWF to estimate the carbon footprint of tuna fisheries. Carbon footprint, which indicates the carbon dioxide emissions generated by a...
Over the last four decades, the aquatic systems of the globe have undergone a rapid transition. Worldwide per capita fish consumption nearly doubled from about 8 kg in the early...

Climate change may exacerbate the current situation in fisheries in South Asia. The potential outcome for fisheries may be decrease in production and value of coastal and inland fisheries, and...
Mangroves, a predominant coastal habitat in the tropics, are constantly threatened by various anthropogenic pressures deteriorating them to a great extent. Global emissions of green house gases (GHGs) are likely...
This summary document reviews: the predicted impacts of climate change on physical and ecological features of aquatic systems and their impacts on the fisheries and aquaculture sector; the role of...
Concern over human-driven climate change constraining green-house gas emissions have increased scientific and policy interest in geoengineering − deliberate interventions in the Earth’s climate system that might moderate global warming....
