Climate change, small-scale fisheries and smallholder aquaculture. p. 73-87
In: M Culberg (ed.) Fish, Trade and Development. Royal Swedish Academy of
Agriculture and Forestry, Stockholm.
Fisheries and aquaculture both contribute to meeting the Millennium
Development Goals but vulnerability to climate change threatens the
contribution that they make to development. Impacts of climate change on
small-scale fisheries are of great relevance to poverty reduction. Poverty
undermines the resilience of social-ecological systems such as fisheries.
The majority of the world¡¯s 250 million fisherfolk lives in areas that are
highly exposed to climate change. A combination of climate-related stresses
and widespread overexploitation of fisheries reduces the scope for
adaptation and increases risks of stock collapse. Aquaculture can utilize
aquatic resources of marginal economic value and can provide a
diversification strategy in the face of environmental change but is also
susceptible to external risk factors, including climate change. This chapter
examines the concepts of vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and resilience in
relation to discussion on adaptation to climate change.

Impacts of climate variability and change on fishery-based livelihoods.
Marine Policy [Online].
There is increasing concern over the consequences of global warming for the
food security and livelihoods of the world¡¯s 36 million fisherfolk and the
nearly 1.5 billion consumers who rely on fish for more than 20% of their
dietary animal protein. With mounting evidence of the impacts of climate
variability and change on aquatic ecosystems, the resulting impacts on
fisheries livelihoods are likely to be significant, but remain a neglected
area in climate adaptation policy. Drawing upon our research and the
available literature, and using a livelihoods framework, this paper
synthesizes the pathways through which climate variability and change impact
fisherfolk livelihoods at the household and community level.

A place at the table? (Commentary). p. 68-70. Nature Report: climate change
Vol. 3.
International organizations are calling for fisheries to be included in a
new global deal on climate change. A consortium of 16 organizations
including the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO), the World Bank and the WorldFish Center issued a policy
brief to delegates meeting in Bonn from June 1-12 for the latest round of UN
climate talks. Their key message was outlined in a Commentary by two of the
authors of the brief published May 28 on Nature Reports Climate Change. Nick
Dulvy, Canadian Research Chair in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation at
Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, and Eddie Allison, director of the
WorldFish Center in Penang, Malaysia, argue that climate impacts represent a
serious threat to those who depend on fisheries and aquaculture resources
both for protein and as a source of income.

Climate change and fisheries: vulnerability and adaptation in Cambodia.
Issues Brief 2008. WorldFish Center, Penang, Malaysia 8 p.
Cambodia is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change on fisheries,
which supply livelihoods for millions and up to 80% of all animal protein in
the diet. Most fisheries are highly variable by nature and subject to
environmental change, including climate change. Hydropower dam construction,
intensified fishing pressure and macroeconomic drivers are likely to affect
Cambodian fisheries more immediately and visibly than climate change.
Building fisher communities' capacity to adapt to these more immediate
changes goes hand-in-hand with improving their capacity to adapt to climate
change. A far-reaching strategy to improve adaptive capacity and strengthen
resilience promises to reduce poverty and enhance food production now and in
the years to come.

Water, poverty and inland fisheries: lessons from Africa and Asia. Water
International 34(1): 47-61.
Relying on experience from West Africa and the Mekong Basin, the authors
contend that small-scale inland fisheries are a critical element in the
livelihoods of many farming households who live near water bodies in
developing countries. Empirical evidence suggests that the relation between
poverty and small-scale fisheries cannot be reduced to a simple correlation
with income. A more thorough analysis is required. Using vulnerability and
exclusions as two dimensions of poverty, we show that poverty in fishing
communities includes a wide range of variables: income but also land
ownership, debt, access to health, education and financial capital, and
political and geographical marginalization.

Fisheries in Zambia: an undervalued contributor to poverty reduction. Policy
Brief 1913. The WorldFish Center/The World Bank.
This brief examines the fisheries sector in Zambia. Fisheries sector has
made a small contribution (1.24%) to the country's national GDP. However, It
is estimated that more than 20 percent of animal protein intake for people
in Zambia is from fish. Hence there is an important role for fish and fish
products in the food and nutrition security of the Zambian population,
especially the urban poor and people living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIV). The
brief also includes recommendations of how fisheries can contribute to the
government's goal of a more inclusive, diversified and sustained economic
growth.

Fish supply and food security for Africa. Flyer 1995. WorldFish Center,
Penang, Malaysia. 4 p. .
Fish is an important food for over 400 million Africans, contributing
essential proteins, minerals and micronutrients to their diets.
Paradoxically, despite the high dependence on fish as a source of animal
protein, fish consumption in sub-Saharan Africa is the world's lowest. The
continent is projected to need an additional 1.6 million tons of fish a year
by 2015 just to maintain current consumption. The rapid increases in fish
supply required over the next decades will only be possible, therefore, if
these fisheries are sustained and improved, while simultaneously developing
aquaculture (fish farming). This note summarizes this dual approach.

Rice fields to prawn farms: a blue revolution in southwest Bangladesh?.
Aquaculture International [online].
This paper examines freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) farming in
southwest Bangladesh where a large number of farmers have converted their
rice fields to export oriented prawn farms, locally known as gher. The gher
design potentially provides good opportunities for diversified production of
prawn, fish, rice and dike crops, that has brought about a 'blue
revolution'. The average annual yield of prawn, fish and rice was estimated
at 467, 986 and 2,257 kg ha-1, respectively. Large farmers produced higher
production due to more inputs, larger farm size and longer experience of
prawn farming than others. All farmers in different gher size categories
(i.e., small, medium and large) made a profit, with seed and feed dominating
variable costs. Despite a higher production costs per hectare, the average
annual net return was higher in large farms (US$2,426), compared with medium
(US$1,798) and small (US$1,420) farms. Prawn production in gher systems has
been accompanied by a great deal of social and economic benefits. Most
farmers associate the blue revolution with increases in income and living
standards. Socioeconomic benefits of the households of prawn farmers depend
on resource ownership (i.e., farm size) and are very apparent. Nevertheless,
a number of significant challenges, particularly social and environmental
issues, are vital in translating its benefits effectively to the thousands
of rural poor.

Dam and fisheries in the Mekong Basin. Aquatic Ecosystem Health and

This paper draws on approaches in ecology, biology and policy analysis to
examine the tensions between dams and fisheries in the Lower Mekong Basin.
We review the exceptional importance of Mekong fisheries in terms of total
catch, economic value and their role in rural livelihoods. The ecological
conditions necessary to sustain the fish production are also analysed. The
paper then considers the implications of dam development in the Mekong
Basin, drawing on recent research to review predicted changes in hydrology
and the resulting impacts on fishery resources. We then consider why, given
the importance of fisheries, these potential impacts are not being addressed
in regional policy processes.

A comparative study of two seasonal floodplain aquaculture systems in
Bangladesh. Water Policy 11(S1):69-79.
This paper presents a comparative analysis of the technical and economic
parameters of two community led approaches: the semi-closed water bodies and
the floodplain water bodies based systems in Bangladesh. The two approaches
differ in management, fish production, impact on biodiversity, capital
investment and annual variable costs, share of profits and proportional
benefits for the poor, and impact on allied businesses¡ªthe so-called
backward and forward linkages. For the semi-closed water bodies (beels) the
fish harvest increased from an annual average of 380 kg ha-1 in 2002 to 921
kg ha-1 by 2005. During the same period, the biodiversity measured for
self-recruiting indigenous species, using the Shannon-Weiner Index (H¡ä),

monitoring in aquaculture. FAO fisheries and aquaculture technical paper No.
527. Rome, FAO.
This review is prepared as part of the FAO Project ¡°Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) and monitoring in aquaculture¡±. The review provides a
compilation, review and synthesis of existing EIA and environmental
monitoring procedures and practices in aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific
region, the largest aquaculture-producing region in the world. This review,
as in other regions, gives special consideration to four areas related to
EIA and monitoring in aquaculture including: (1) the requirements (2) the
practice (3) the effectiveness and (4) suggestions for improvements.
Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Thailand and Viet Nam are covered in some depth, and a brief overview is
provided of EIA and monitoring in several other countries in the region that
are in various stages of adoption and implementation of environmental impact
assessment, monitoring and other environmental management measures for
aquaculture.

Genetic improvement programs for aquaculture species in developing
countries: prospects and challenges. Proceedings of the 18th Conference of
the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics. 28
Sept-1 Oct 2009, Brossa Valley, South Australia. 18:342-249.
Aquaculture in developing countries is largely based on unimproved fish
strains. There is ample evidence indicating the potential of genetic
improvement programs and a range of selection methods may be used. Examples
of the application of mass, cohort, within family, and combined
between-within family are given. The methods are discussed in terms of their
effectiveness and suitability. It is concluded that in principle all the
methods can work well, provided the selection program is started with a
population with a broad genetic base and that during its conduct a balance
is struck between selection intensity and containment of inbreeding.
Limitations to the implementation of genetic improvement programs and the
challenges they face are discussed.

A better margin: disadvantaged minorities in rural Bangladesh boost their
incomes with new fish skills. Factsheet 1954. The WorldFish Center, Penang,
Malaysia. 8 p.
This factsheet hightlights the achievements of the Adivasi Fisheries Project
(AFP) targeting the disadvanged rural minorities called Adivasi. In leading
the AFP, the WorldFish Center built on 2 decades of earlier work in
Bangladesh on aquaculture techniques for smallholders and communities
fisheries management. The AFP lifted the average income of participating
Adivasi households. The increased income improved their food securities,
reducing their food deficit period from 1.7 months in 2007 to 1.4 months in
2008

Aquaculture options for alternative livelihoods: the experience of the
Adivasi Fisheries Project in Bangladesh. Factsheet 1946. The WorldFish
Center, Penang, Malaysia. 8 p.
The Adivasi Fisheries Project (AFP) set out in 2007 to help Adivasis in the
north and northwest of Bangladesh find new and more sustainable livelihoods.
It is based on 2 decades of WorldFish Center research in Bangladesh on
aquaculture techniques for smallholders and community fisheries management
and targeted disadvantaged rural miniorities called Adivasi. The project
significantly improved Adivasi households¡¯ livelihoods. Monitoring survey
results found all of the fishery-related livelihood options profitable. As
farmers were able to improve their livelihoods after a single year of AFP
intervention, it is expected that they will not only sustain this
improvement but build on it as their experience grows and with continued
technical support from the AFP in 2009.

Are fishers poor or vulnerable? Assessing economic vulnerability in
small-scale fishing communities. Journal of Development Studies 45(6):
911-933.
An index of economic vulnerability is developed and used with a more
conventional measure of income poverty to explore vulnerability and chronic
poverty in isolated rural communities. The method is applied to data from
remote rural fishing¨Cfarming communities in Congo. The analysis highlights
the high vulnerability of full-time fisherfolk and identifies mobility as a
key factor increasing vulnerability. In line with other recent economic
research, our work also shows that households can remain highly vulnerable
even when their incomes lie well above the average local income. These
different results are consistent with the more specialised literature on
small-scale fisheries, confirming the robustness of the analysis proposed in
this paper.

Social and economic impacts of agricultural productivity intensification:
the case brush park fisheries in Lake Volta. Agricultural Systems published
online June.
The intensification of agricultural productivity through technological
innovation has often been reported to induce considerable social and
economic transformation in the rural communities where those innovations are
introduced. This paper investigates those changes in the case of acadja, a
particular technique for intensifying fishing, which has been adopted in
various parts of the developing world. Using the case of Lake Volta in
Ghana, the paper investigates the social and economic impacts of this
technique, looking in particular into issues of income, assets and
(re)distribution of the wealth created by those acadjas. Our analysis shows
that the impact of acadjas on fishing communities is mixed. While acadja
certainly helps to enhance the supply of protein-rich food and may have
trickle down effects at the community level, those positive contributions
are greatly reduced by other more negative effects. The data show in
particular that acadjas are not a poor-neutral technology in the sense that
their contribution to household income seems to benefit disproportionably
the wealthiest owners. As such, acadja fisheries often create negative
sentiments amongst the households who cannot afford investing in this
technology, creating a situation which may lead to social tension and
intra-community conflicts.

Diagnosis and the management constituency of small-scale fisheries.
WorldFish Center working paper 1941. The WorldFish Center, Penang, Malaysia.
26 p.
Diagnosis and adaptive management can help improve the ability of
small-scale fisheries (SSF) in the developing world to better cope with and
adapt to both external drivers and internal sources of uncertainty. This
paper presents a framework for diagnosis and adaptive management and
discusses ways of implementing the first two phases of learning: diagnosis
and mobilising an appropriate management constituency. The discussion
addresses key issues and suggests suitable approaches and tools as well as
numerous sources of further information. Diagnosis of a SSF defines the
system to be managed, outlines the scope of the management problem in terms
of threats and opportunities, and aims to construct realistic and desired
future projections for the fishery. These steps can clarify objectives and
lead to development of indicators necessary for adaptive management. Before
management, however, it is important to mobilize a management constituency
to enact change. Ways of identifying stakeholders and understanding both
enabling and obstructive interactions and management structures are
outlined. These preliminary learning phases for adaptive SSF management are
expected to work best if legitimised by collaborative discussion among
fishery stakeholders drawing on multiple knowledge systems and participatory
approaches to assessment.

This chapter examines the situation of small boat fishermen in eastern
Indonesia, a large number of whom are now engaged in illegal shark fishing
in Australia waters. The paper looks at: 1) the historical background to
current developments; 2) the general shift from trochus and trepang
gathering to sharkfishing that occurred in the 1990¡¯s; 3) the rapid
increase in the market for shark and the variety of shark that are currently
targeted; 4) differences among the four ports along the southern rim of
eastern Indonesia from which most of these fishermen sail; 5) the various
local networks connected to these different ports and variety of strategies
and technologies that have been and are being developed by fishermen from
these areas.

Vulnerability in African small-scale fishing communities. Journal of
International Development (online).
Fishing communities are often recognised as being amongst the poorest in
developing countries, and interventions targeted at improving resource
status seen as central in the fight against poverty. A series of field
assessments focusing on vulnerability conducted in two communities in Mali
and Nigeria revealed some counterintuitive results. Despite fishing being
the primary livelihood, vulnerabilities relating directly to the state of
the resource were ranked lower than those relating to basic human needs.
Those results challenge the conventional view and suggest that non-sectoral
interventions can have more effective impacts on the livelihood of those
communities than interventions targeting the resources.

Managing fisheries conflicts through communication planning: experience from
inland fisheries of Bangladesh. Fisheries Research 99: 112-122.
Increasing population, ineffective management, competition among fishing
gears over access to resources and proliferation of destructive practices
are imposing severe stress on the inland water bodies of Bangladesh. These
factors also contribute to the increasing incidence of conflicts among
fishery stakeholders. Whenunabated, these conflicts arepotential threats to
the livelihoods of millions of the poorest fishing communities that depend
on these resources. Effective communication between conflicting parties is
perceived as a key for establishing successful negotiations for managing
conflicts. On this premise, this paper presents and assesses a Fisheries
Conflicts Communication Framework, henceforth called FishCom, a tool for
developing plans and strategies for managing fisheries conflicts in the
inland fisheries of Bangladesh.

Ecosystem-based fisheries management in small-scale tropical marine
fisheries: emerging models of governance arrangements in the Philippines.
Marine Policy [in press].
There has been a gradual evolution in fisheries management over the past
decades from a focus on sustainability of a single species or stock and
resources to a focus on marine ecosystems.Among the issues to be addressed
for effective implementation of ecosystem based fisheries management(EBFM)
are the appropriate governance arrangements and scale for
management.Thepurpose of this paper is to examine these issues of governance
and scale as related to EBFM in tropical developing countries through
ananalysis of approaches being taken in the Philippines to manage fisheries
on amulti- jurisdictional level.The management of fisheries and coastal
resources in a number of bays and gulfs, which represent marine
ecosystems,is presented.The opportunities and constraints to ecosystem based
fisheries management in the Philippines are discussed and lessons for
broader application of these governance structures in tropical developing
country marine ecosystems are presented.

Inland capture fisheries in India have declined in recent years, leaving
thousands of fishers to sink deeper into poverty. Freshwater aquaculture in
small water bodies like ponds now contributes 80% of the country¡¯s inland
fish production. This manual outlines the use of small reservoir for
freshwater aquacultureas a means of providing rural areas with food and
livelihoods and protecting aquatic ecosystems, in particular by facilitating
the conservation of indigenous fish species.

Approaches and frameworks for management and research in small-scale
fisheries in the developing world. WorldFish Center working paper 1914. The
WorldFish Center, Penang, Malaysia. 22 p.
Commonly adopted approaches to managing small-scale fisheries (SSFs) in
developing countries do not ensure sustainability. Progress is impeded by a
gap between innovative SSF research and slower-moving SSF management. The
paper aims to bridge the gap by showing that the three primary bases of SSF
management--ecosystem, stakeholders¡¯ rights and resilience--are mutually
consistent and complementary. It nominates the ecosystem approach as an
appropriate starting point because it is established in national and
international law and policy. Within this approach, the emerging resilience
perspective and associated concepts of adaptive management and institutional
learning can move management beyond traditional control and resource-use
optimization, which largely ignore the different expectations of
stakeholders; the complexity of ecosystem dynamics; and how ecological,
social, political and economic subsystems are linked. Integrating a
rights-based perspective helps balance the ecological bias of
ecosystem-based and resilience approaches. The paper introduces three
management implementation frameworks that can lend structure and order to
research and management regardless of the management approach chosen.
Finally, it outlines possible research approaches to overcome the heretofore
limited capacity of fishery research to integrate across ecological, social
and economic dimensions and so better serve the management objective of
avoiding fishery failure by nurturing and preserving the ecological, social
and institutional attributes that enable it to renew and reorganize itself.
