Coastal Forest Fisheries, Estuarine Livelihoods, and Human Well-being in Southern Puerto Rico
Evaluating impacts of marine governance on human communities
Coastal Resource Foraging, Life Satisfaction, and Well-Being in Southeastern Puerto Rico
Based on ethnographic work in coastal southeastern Puerto Rico, we explore the empirical observation that people who make a significant part of their living from fishing and exploitation of other coastal resources are more satisfied with their lives, their work, and their enjoyment of community life than their fellow community members. Coastal resource foraging (CRF) denotes a set of economic activities and social relations related to making a li…
Job Satisfaction in the Fishery in Two Southeast Alaskan Towns
Job satisfaction provides us with a window to view the psycho-cultural adaptations of individuals in communities. In this case we are looking at three maritime occupations in two highly fishing-dependent communities in Southeast Alaska. A great deal of research has linked job satisfaction to individual attributes such as mental health and longevity; and social problems such as family violence, absenteeism, and job performance. Job satisfaction, i…
Thresholds of Danger
Building on previous research published in this journal (Pollnac et al. 1995), the paper examines individual and cultural factors that influence the thresholds of danger among North Atlantic fishers from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Refined measures of perceptions of the dangers of fishing are developed and examined in terms of their relationship to individual differences such as ethnicity, age, fishing experience, onboard position, type of fishin…
Food Resource Periodicity and Cooperation Values
This article deals with the relationship of maintenance systems and socialization values cross-culturally. A theoretical discussion of the hypothesis that periodicity in food resource production relates to socialization for cooperation is presented. Drawing on two separate random samples from the HRAF Probability Sample Files, the hypothesis is tested and found to be strongly supported. The findings are discussed in terms of how they appear to an…
Cultural Adaptation to Danger and the Safety of Commercial Oceanic Fishermen
This article describes the psycho-cultural adaptation to danger and its effect on safety practices among New England fishers. Denial and trivialization are common mechanisms used in coping with the dangers associated with their occupation. Examining concordance between Coast Guard data and fishers' accounts allows for the evaluation of the fishers' understandings about actual causes of fishing vessel accidents. Additionally, the article uses soci…
Psychocultural Adaptation and Development Policy for Small-scale Fishermen's Cooperatives in Ecuador
The two principal methods of producing marine products, mariculture and capture fishing, manifest radically different work patterns. The only similarity is the product. The paper argues that these different patterns of production influence different modes of social and psychocultural adaptation among mariculturalists and capture fishermen. Data analyzed from 48 cooperatives in Ecuador indicate that these different modes of adaptation influence fa…
Socioeconomic factors influencing food habits in Antigua, the West Indies
The purpose of this paper is to offer an insight into the socioeconomic factors influencing food habits in Antigua, the West Indies. Dietary and socioeconomic data were collected by interview schedule from one respondent in each of 305 randomly selected households in Antigua, W.I., during December, 1981, and January, 1982. Variables hypothesized to influence food habits in Antigua were tested for their relationship with a Dietary Adequacy Score b…
The Structure of Job Satisfaction Among New England Fishermen and Its Application to Fisheries Management Policy
This article examines the structure of job satisfaction among New England fishermen using three different measures. The various measures of job satisfaction were found to be complexly related to other sociocultural variables such as age, education, years of fishing experience, type of fishing, ethnicity, and home port. The policy implications of these findings are discussed as they relate to fishery development and management

Ritual Adaptation to Risk and Technological Development in Ocean Fisheries
This paper deals with the role of taboos as a means of psycho-cultural adaptation to personal risk among fishermen in southern New England. It is argued that knowledge of wide-spread psycho-cultural ritual adaptations would help planners to select appropriate technological innovations which are more likely to be accepted by, and contribute to the well-being of, fishermen in regions of the world where technological development of fisheries is poss…

Economic Gratification Patterns of Fishermen and Millworkers in New England
The paper tests several hypotheses concerning the correlates of economic gratification orientations among fishermen and mill workers in southern New England. The findings indicate that economic gratification orientations are related to occupation, temporal perspective, and ethnicity. It is suggested that economic gratification patterns are influenced by periodicity of income and perceived access to the means of production, two factors intimately …

The Uncertain Future of Fishing Families
Ethnology
Risk and Ritual
AMONG CERTAIN GROUPS and in certain behavioral settings in the United States, there is a greater use of ritual magic than is generally characteristic of the whole society. Coal miners and fishermen as well as rodeo performers and gamblers are in occupations and situations that are replete with ritual magic. These groups and situations have in common a high degree of uncertainty associated with them. The retention of rituals in these cases, in an …
Toward Quality Control in Key Informant Data
This paper deals with the question of predicting quality in key informant data. The concept of precision (closeness of key informants' responses to the actual nature of the quantitative and qualitative domains on which they are reporting) is introduced and measured in a research setting where key informant reliability (agreement) has been assessed by other field workers. It is shown that it is possible to control the quality of key informant data…

Deferred Gratification as an Adaptive Characteristic for Small-Scale Fishermen
Contact, Change and Industrialization in a Network of Mexican Villages
Since Durkheim's pioneering work on the division of labor, anthropologists and sociologists have treated institutional complexity as a basic dimension of community organization. Over time, the concept has been refined. Redfield, influenced by Tönnies' Gemeinschaft-Gesellschaft typology, used complexity as one of the criteria differentiating urban and folk culture. Later, Freeman and Winch, Naroll, Carneiro and others quantified the concept across…
