Transition pathways from vulnerability to viability of small‐scale fisheries in Africa and Asia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This perspective paper examines transition pathways that move small‐scale fisheries from vulnerability towards viability. We understand ‘vulnerability to viability transition pathways’ as integrative and one that extends beyond economic concerns to include social, political, cultural and ecological aspects of small‐scale fisheries.

The paradox of mosquito net fishing: Complex socio‐ecological trade‐offs in southwestern Madagascar

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Small‐scale fisheries are vital for the livelihoods, nutrition and well‐being of millions of people in coastal regions. In many parts of the Global South, rising poverty, limited alternatives and declining resources have driven the spread of mosquito net fishing (MNF), a non‐selective practice using repurposed health‐distributed nets.

Panama Canal expansion and shifts in fishing practices: A social‐ecological network approach

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species introductions have spiked over the past two centuries due to globalization. These introductions impact ecosystems, but may also have long‐term implications for human communities. In one of the world's hubs for global shipping, the Panama Canal, a recent canal expansion has coincided with an increase in marine fishes entering the ...

Beyond our backyard: Unravelling how social‐ecological fit drives the formation of inter‐regional collaborative networks for water governance in the Yellow River Basin

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The societal and biophysical permeability across human‐demarcated jurisdictions within watersheds necessitates collaboration among administrative regions. The effectiveness of such collaboration is partly determined by the degree to which institutional arrangements align with underlying social and ecological interdependencies, a concept ...

Community perceptions and management of the fleshy‐fruited invasive alien plant Pyracantha angustifolia: Insights from South Africa's Montane grasslands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive alien plants can provide economic or cultural benefits to local communities, influencing perceptions and potentially affecting management decisions. Understanding these perceptions is crucial to avoiding inefficiencies, misunderstandings and conflicts in the management of invasive alien species.

Heavy metals in Chinese freshwater fish: Levels, regional distribution, sources and health risk assessment.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
China is a major producer and consumer of freshwater fish, which can provide nutrients to the human body but is also of great concern because of the bioaccumulation and amplification of heavy metals that are directly related to human health.

Accumulation, tissue distribution, and biochemical effects of polystyrene microplastics in the freshwater fish red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Environmental Pollution, 2018
While the presence of microplastics (MPs) in marine environments has been detected worldwide, the importance of MPs pollution in freshwater environments has also been emphasized in recent years.

Health risk assessment of heavy metals in freshwater fish in the central and eastern North China.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2018
The distribution and potential health risks of eight heavy metals (Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni)) in 16 freshwater systems from central and eastern North China, were investigated.

Identification of microplastics in fish ponds and natural freshwater environments of the Carpathian basin, Europe.

Chemosphere, 2019
In the past few years, there has been a significant development in freshwater microplastic research. Pollution has been detected in lakes and rivers of several continents, but the number of papers is still marginal compared to the ones investigating ...
