Social Principles Underlying Traditional Inshore Fishery Management Systems in the Pacific Basin
No full textAmong fisheries management schemes, those based on sole ownership concepts have been relatively little studied. This concept has been most widely applied in the traditional fisheries management or sea tenure systems of the Pacific Basin, where, unlike the West, sole ownership resides in the community or other small social group. Information on Pacific Basin sea tenure systems remains largely anecdotal and unsynthesized. In a partial attempt to overcome that, this article defines and exemplifies six social principles common to many traditional systems of sea tenure in inshore fisheries management in the Pacific Basin, with reference to Oceanian islands, and based on an examination of the literature and supplementary field research. These principles are that: (1) sea rights depend on social status, (2) resource exploitation is governed by use rights, (3) resource territories are defined. (4) marine resources are controlled by traditional authorities, (5) conservation was traditionally widely practiced, and (6) sanctions and punishments are meted out for infringement of regulations. Most remaining systems are hybrids of traditional and modem components, with the latter becoming dominant. Interpretation of the literature without supplementary field verification is severely constrained by the use of the ''anthropological present'' tense.Environmental Economics and Policy, International Development, International Relations/Trade, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,

Marine Resources Management in the Context of Customary Tenure
No full textAlthough customary marine tenure (CMT) systems for the management of local marine resources occur throughout the world, compared with other models of fisheries management they remain relatively little known. The Pacific Basin is especially rich in CMT systems, which play key roles in overall social, economic and cultural life of societies. Based on a Solomon Island example, we examine the organizational principles and potentials of CMT systems to provide sustainable yields and equitable access to resources, their resilience to external pressures, and mechanisms for ensuring local autonomy in resource control. Next we demonstrate that CMT systems are an expression of traditional ecological knowledge, and show the importance of such knowledge to scientific research and the planning of resource management. Finally, we suggest priorities for research on CMT systems.community-based management, fisheries management, traditional environmental knowledge, traditional conservation, Pacific Basin, Solomon Islands, Environmental Economics and Policy, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
Gyoshō in Southeast Asia : A Study of Fermented Aquatic Products (5)
No full textA wide range of products made by the fermentation of both
freshwater and marine organisms plays a fundamental role in
cuisines throughout Southeast Asia (which in this article also
includes Bangladesh), where they function principally as condimental
side dishes. The fermented fish products of the region are
examined here by country in terms of present-day geographical
distribution, type of raw material, processing techniques and
consumption patterns. Five types of product are examined :
shiokara, shiokara paste, shrimp paste, fish sauce, and shrimp sauce.
The wide range of fermented fish products made in Southeast
Asia can be classified strictly only by individual country or by
language grouping. Thus for the comparative purposes of this
article we have used a simple generic classification based on
both the nature of the final product and the method used to
prepare it.
The fermented product of fish and salt that preserves the
original whole of partial shape of the fish raw material yields
a product known as shiokara, which when comminuted by either
pounding or grinding yields shiokara paste. In this case the
final product has a condiment-like character, and can be easily
dissolved into a liquid. The liquid resulting from the fermentation
process yields a fish sauce. This same system of classification
is also applied, with qualification, to products prepared
from shrimp and other aquatic organisms. Other items, such as
rice bran and pineapple, for example, may be added to the
fish-salt mixture either to enhance the flavor of the final product,
to speed the fermentation process, or for a combination of both
objectives.
This is the fifth in a series of articles that reports the results
of a comprehensive field survey of fermented fish products
conducted by the authors in East and Southeast Asia during
the period 1982-85. The research was supported financially by
the Ajinomoto Co., of Tokyo. Previous articles have surveyed
the types of fermented fish products in Northeast Asia [石毛
(ISHIGE) 1986] and narezushi (fish fermented in the presence of
rice or another vegetable product) [石毛(ISHIGE) 1987], and
the ecological basis for the supply of raw materials from marine
[RUDDLE 1986] and freshwater [RUDDLE 1987] sources. The
final two papers in the series will examine, respectively, the
chemistry of fermented fish products and their dietary and
culinary roles, and the origins and distribution of these products.departmental bulletin pape
