a b s t r a c tMarine reserves and gear restrictions are common forms of marine resource management; they impact on fishers both directly and indirectly. In 2003 New Zealand set net fishers were required to abandon set netting along a substantial section of the North Island′s West Coast in order to eliminate the chance of entangling the critically endangered Maui′s dolphin. A study of some 100 set net fishers, found that the immediate, and short term effects of the 2003 set netting area closures had little impact on the catch and effort levels of fishers. Participation in the fishery increased immediately prior to the restrictions and remained at a similar level for the following four years. Incumbent fishers performed better than new entrants and exiters. Trends in Annual Catch Entitlement (ACE) prices appear not to have been affected by the set net restrictions.

“…FAO (2002) reported that 5.8 million small-scale fishers earn less than US$ 1 a day and stated that, if the poverty among small-scale fishermen continues, the problem should be dealt with caution. Small-scale fisheries employ nearly 50 million people worldwide, i.e., about 99% of the global strength of the fishermen, virtually all of them are from developing countries (Berkes et al, 2001;Van Santen 2003), contributing 40% of the world's annual marine and inland fish catch (Whitmarsh et al, 2000). Freire and Allut (2000) pointed out that the small-scale coastal fisheries have a greater social significance than industrial fishery.…”

The spatial and temporal changes in the demographic and socio-economic indicators of coastal fishing community of India were studied using data collected during the national level census on marine fishermen population in 2005 and 2010, covering 11 maritime states and union territories of the country. Information on population growth, sex ratio, literacy level and educational status, poverty level, sectoral dependency and occupational categories of the coastal fisherfolk were analysed and compared with analogous figures of national averages on these socio-economic indicators. The marine fishermen of India, who depend on fisheries for their subsistence, were significantly below the national averages in many of key demographic indicators. The results of correspondence analysis carried out for visual description of the association of economic status with the key indicators showed that, the below poverty class among fishermen were more associated with low family size compared to large sized families, which implicates to labour supply in a labour demanding socio-economy of marine fisheries. Different dependency ratios were computed as a simple summary measure for comparison of age structure of fisherfolks.

“…Four performance indicators were chosen for this study: gross revenue, net revenue, financial profit and economic profit (Brinson et al, 2006;Whitmarsh et al, 2000). These performance indicators have been used previously for other artisanal and recreational fleets (Brinson et al, 2006;Garza-Gil and Amigo-Dobano, 2008;Pascoe et al, 1996;Whitmarsh et al, 2000).…”
