Microeconomic relationships between and among fishers and traders influence the ability to respond to social-ecological changes in a small-scale fishery

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Understanding the cross-scale nature of how natural resource trading links to local extraction patterns remains a topic of great relevance to stewardship and sustainable use of ecological systems. Microeconomic influences on a society's pattern of smallscale natural resources utilization can exacerbate resource overuse, especially under increased population pressure. In many rural communities that are based on a limited diversity of resource industries, quantifying the response of extractors and trad… Show more

“…Outcomes of global markets are filtered by context specific conditions at the local fishery scale (Crona et al, 2016). However, conventional fishery management often simplifies or ignores this, especially the complex power relations intertwined with fishing capital access, local fish trading agreements, and market pressures that impact fisher's extraction (Kininmonth et al, 2017). Our somewhat unexpected findings are important as they highlight gaps in our understanding of human behavior in the fishery context, and illustrates that "conventional truths" of fishers' responses perpetuated in scholarly fields may need to be challenged in order to achieve truly sustainable governance strategies.…”

“…This paper aims to shed new light on the complex causality between international seafood trade and local fishing and loaning behavior by making use of experimental methods. We believe this provides a novel addition to SSF scholars struggling to understand these complex dynamics, but also provides knowledge on fisher and patron responses to market fluctuations, to better inform attempts to develop sustainable fishery governance interventions, as noted by Kininmonth et al (2017).…”

“…Fishers in the study area do not depend on one buyer since inability to store their fish makes them create relationships with several buyers. Hence, fishers in Lake Zeway can be called freelancers (Crona and Bodin, 2010;Kininmonth et al, 2017) because they do not depend on a single buyer.…”

“…Patron-client relationships are an example of such an internal dynamic which strongly influences the organization of market interactions, with far-reaching effects at individual and systems levels alike [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. These relations represent largely informal institutions [8], and are pervasive in rural economies worldwide [4,[9][10][11], including many tropical SSF [12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
