Book (series)Socioeconomic characteristics of bottom trawl fishery exploiting deep-water rose shrimp and European hake in north Tunisia 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This report summarizes the methods and results of the socioeconomic survey run under the MedSudMed Project on the trawl fleet in Northern Tunisia targeting shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris) and hake (Merluccius. merluccius). Surveyed vessels belong to the classes T-11 (12-24 m LOA) and T-12 (>24 m LOA). The socioeconomic survey is conceived and divided into different parts, and 25 indicators are presented about the performance of the fleet in the years 2015, 2016 and 2017. These indicators belong to the socio-demographic, economic and technical dimension of the fishery. Data collection focused on four main fishing ports: Tabarka, Bizerte, la Goulette and Kélibia. The last part of the survey includes concerns and claims raised by boat owners and fishers during survey activities. These have been ranked in order to identify the most relevant problems to be addressed for improving management. This report has the goal of enhancing the much-needed knowledge on the socio-economic dimension of fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea, hoping that this will contribute to the development of a responsible and sustainable management of the fisheries in the area. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical and socio-economic characteristics of small-scale coastal fishing communities, and opportunities for poverty alleviation and empowerment 2016
Also available in:
No results found.The document provides an overview of the situation that small-scale fishers in developing countries face in terms of: financial and economic performance of fishery enterprises; vulnerabilities and poverty; adaptations to a changing environment including, climate variability and change; and access to technology, infrastructure, financial services and social protection schemes. It also gives due attention to the role of women and gender equality in small-scale fisheries (SSFs). The document also d iscusses SSF issues in a few selected developed countries, states and provinces in order to compare similar issues of importance in SSFs in developed and developing countries and to examine whether something can be learned from the comparison. Most of the studies reviewed show that SSFs are generally profitable. However, many of the studies also point out that this does not mean that the earnings from fishing alone are sufficient to sustain households at a level above the poverty line or above a country’s minimum wage level. Studies found that, particularly during bad fishing seasons and poor catches, households are very dependent on income from non-fishery-related activities and on government assistance.
