    Description: The promotion of mega-constructions, as reservoirs of Itaipu and Yacyretá, are based in ideas of development and progress. However, the report showed by the World Commission on Dams (WCD) in November of 2000, made responsible to the big reservoirs, the projects on Sustainable Regional Development (SRD), as generating of social and environmental damages. Thus, the main goal of the present study is to investigate the social and cultural transformations in the communities of the islanders and riparian people from Ituzaingó and Porto Rico with the constructions of the hydroelectric power plants of Itaipu (Brazil), Porto Primavera (Brazil) and Yacyretá (Argentina). Are analyzed many factors that allowed the built of those reservoirs and their principal actors. Also, the contradictions more visible verified in the social community and environmental of Ituzaingó and Porto Rico. The three reservoirs are located on the Paraná River basin, because the exploration of there hidroelectrical potential and promote of development of the different regions. Although, the reservoirs of Itaipu and Yacyretá, as projects of DRS, not allowed better social conditions for the traditional communities of Porto Rico and Ituzaingó, and they were made loose their significance when they are compare with the damages caused. In the other hand, its main beneficiaries are the multilateral financiers agencies and the economical trusts with distant headquarters from the south of Brazil and the northeast of Argentina.
    Description: A aceitação e promoção de megaobras, como as barragens de Itaipu e Yacyretá, são baseadas em idéias de desenvolvimento e de progresso. Contudo, o informe apresentado pela Comissão Mundial de Represas (CMR) em novembro de 2000, responsabilizou às grandes represas, os projetos de Desenvolvimento Regional Sustentável (DRS) por excelência, como geradoras de uma série de danos sociais e ambientais. Destarte, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi o estudo das transformações sociais ocorridas nas comunidades de ilhéus e ribeirinhos de Ituzaingó e Porto Rico a partir das mudanças na paisagem ecológica decorrentes das construções das usinas hidrelétricas de Itaipu (Brasil), Porto Primavera (Brasil) e Yacyretá (Argentina). Com essa finalidade foram analisados alguns dos fatores que possibilitaram a concretização desses projetos assim como a identificação dos seus principais protagonistas. O trabalho também contemplou o resgate das vozes dos pescadores-lavradores da região. As três usinas assentam-se sobre o rio Paraná com o propósito de explorar o seu potencial hidrelétrico e estimular o desenvolvimento das respectivas regiões. Porém, as represas de Itaipu, Porto Primavera e Yacyretá, como projetos de DRS, não promoveram, até hoje, melhoras significativas para as comunidades tradicionais de Porto Rico e Ituzaingó. O desenvolvimento alcançado perde toda importância quando comparado aos prejuízos ocasionados. Paradoxalmente, os seus principais beneficiários são as agências financiadoras multilaterais e os consórcios econômicos com sedes distantes do sul brasileiro e do nordeste argentino.

    Description: From the Forward: The idea for an Exploratory Workshop on Fisheries Sociology emerged from informal discussions held at the 1983 Rural Sociological Society meetings. Planning for the Exploratory Workshop was undertaken by the two of us (Bailey and Harris) with the assistance of Peter Sinclair and Christopher Vanderpool. We sought to identify persons working in different areas of the sociology of fisheries who could present review papers on their areas of inquiry. The papers in this volume are the result of that effort. At the same time, we sought to identify persons who would be interested in attending such a workshop• By combining our personal networks, the mailing list of the Fisheries Anthropologist at the National Marine Fisheries Service (Peter Fricke), and the list of attendees at two sessions on fisheries organized by Bailey at the 1984 Rural Sociological Society meetings, we developed a mailing list of 83 sociologists working on some aspect of fisheries. Invitations to attend the workshop were sent to those persons. In response to the invitation, 24 sociologists attended the Workshop. They came from eleven states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, three provinces of Canada, and Norway. They represented work in both industrialized and developing nations, in subsistence, recreational and commercial fisheries, and in aquaculture.

    Description: This description of the small-scale sector of the Southern New England (Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut) fishery includes information on the fishermen (their ages, education, experience, occupational training, family involvement and reasons for fishing) and the physical characteristics of the fleet (the boats and gear). Fishing patterns are analyzed by species, geographical areas and seasons. The economic structure of small-scale fishing is described in terms of investment, net and gross earnings, fuel costs, crew payments systems and marketing arrangements. Management implications of this information and analyses are included.

    Description: This bibliography of social and economic studies of the fisheries of the Northeast United States (Maine to North Carolina) includes annotated listings for each entry and an index of key words for cross-referencing. We have attempted to include all studies published since 1970, and a selected group of particularly significant studies done earlier. The major focus has been on commercial fisheries, but recreational fishing studies have also been included when possible. In addition to studies of the Northeast United States fisheries, studies of Canadian fishing subsidies, European and other markets, have been included because of their relevance to the regional industry. All stages of the fishing industry's operation - harvesting, processing, distribution, marketing - are included, along with management and policy oriented material.

    Description: The New England fishing industry is examined in terms of the capacity of the fishing fleet, of the processing plants, and of the transportation system. Limitations on the capacity of the industry, and its capability and flexibility, are explored in terms of social, economic and technical aspects. The study is based on interviews with fishermen, buyers, processors and distributors, and on data made available by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Although the fisheries is in a state of expansion and both vessels and plants have a greater capacity than is now being used, the major problems that may restrict expansion in both fishing and processing are quality control, species selection and market development.

    Description: Development of shrimp-export industry brought about the underdevelopment of Pacific Mexico's inshore fisheries. The rural fishery of south Sinaloa provides a case in point, as well as a point of departure for considering fisheries development and management policy for similar fisheries in certain other less developed countries.

    Description: This report represents a first step at considering the potential for the use of market-based incentives to aid in the resolution of fishery bycatch problems. Market-based incentives have several advantages over more traditional command-and-control approaches, including cost-effective allocations of environmental controls; incentives for firms to seek technological solutions; flexibility; returns to the public for the use of its resources; and lower administrative costs in some cases. Notwithstanding these advantages and with several notable exceptions, market-based incentives are almost never employed in the management of fishery bycatch problems. There may be several reasons why this is the case, including significant distributional effects, high costs of monitoring and enforcement, difficulties in educating consumers about product attributes, administrative and transactions costs, or merely oversight. We consider this report to be an "advanced outline" of the issues surrounding the consideration of market-based incentives. We begin first by developing in Section 2 a definition of bycatch, including a "typology" of bycatch types. Next, we compile available public information on bycatch in U.S. fisheries, as defined by target species, location, and gear type (Section 3 and Appendix 1). We then review, in Section 4, two potentially relevant strands of literature, the economic theory of multispecies fisheries and studies from other social sciences of how small-scale fisheries deal with problems of bycatch. In Section 5, we describe, in general, the kinds of market-based policy instruments that may be of use in managing bycatch problems. Following this evaluation, we identify and discuss, as case studies; three priority fisheries: th~ northeastern groundfish fishery; the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery; and the eastern tropical Pacific yellowfin tuna fishery (Section 6). Finally, in Section 7, we outline approaches to identifying appropriate policy instruments, including a qualitative comparison of market-based approaches, an examination of the effect of specific types of uncertainty on the choice between taxes and ITQs, and the development of a "proposal" for a bycatch management "policy package." This section concludes with a proposal for a set of priority market-based approaches to bycatch management in the three cases discussed in Section 6.

    Description: Global change is occurring now, often with consequences far beyond those anticipated. Although there is a wide range of assessment approaches available to address specific aspects of global change, there is currently no framework to identify what governance responses have worked and where, what has facilitated change, and what preventative options are possible. To respond to this need, we present an integrated assessment framework that builds on knowledge learned from past experience of responses to global change, to enable decision makers, researchers, managers and local stakeholders to: (1) make decisions efficiently; (2) triage and improve their responses; and (3) evaluate where to most effectively allocate resources to reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience of coastal peoples. This integrated assessment framework, IMBER-ADApT is intended to enable and enhance decision making through the development a typology of case studies providing lessons on how the natural, social and governance systems respond to the challenges of global change. The typology is developed from a database of case studies detailing the systems affected by change, responses to change and, critically, an appraisal of these responses, generating knowledge-based solutions that can be applied to other comparable situations. Fisheries, which suffer from multiple pressures, are the current focus of the proposed framework, but it could be applied to a wide range of global change issues. IMBER-ADApT has the potential to contribute to timely, cost-effective policy and governing decision making and responses. It offers cross-scale learning to help ameliorate, and eventually prevent, loss of livelihoods, food sources and habitat.

    Description: Despite an absence of freshwater exploitation, the adult salmon run in the Matamek River, Quebec, declined during 1975-1980 to 〈23% of the level thought to occur there prior to 1967. Returns in 1979 and 1980 of adults tagged as smolts were 1.0% and 0.9%, respectively. Numbers of emigrating smolts and their corresponding adult returns are not significantly correlated, although we observed a trend towards more salmon (2 sea year fish) returning with larger numbers of migrating smolts. Since 1967 there is noted a decrease in the age at which returning adults smolted and females appear to now constitute a larger percentage of returning grilse and salmon. These, and other changes in life history characteristics, appear to be caused solely by commercial exploitation.
