Descripción
This paper provides an analytical framework for the management and development of coastal small-scale fisheries in developing countries. In a brief review the basic management concepts developed for single-species fisheries are presented and their appropriateness is examined for the management and development of small-scale multi-species fisheries. Apart from the higher biological complexity of multi-species fisheries the traditional management concepts also n eed refinement for socio-economic reasons. The paper describes the constraints under which many small-scale fishermen operate, viz., resource limitation, conflicts with large-scale fisheries, lack of geographical and occupational mobility and lack of alternative employment opportunities.
