Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Investigation of how socioeconomic variables at the individual, household- and site-scale affected whether fishers would exit fisheries found fishers from households with more livelihood activities, and fishers with lower catch value were more willing to exit, highlight the importance of understanding natural resource-based livelihoods in the context of the wider economy and society.
