Abstract

This paper presents an agenda for the future of gender research in small-scale fisheries (SSF). Building on expert insight from scholars who gathered during the 4th World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress Africa (4WSFC) with a synthesis of existing literature, we identify six topics that warrant future investigation in SSF, along with methodological considerations for addressing them. Research priorities include identifying pathways towards (1) equitable participation in governance and decision-making, (2) valuing all actors' contributions to aquatic food systems, (3) increasing access to financial services, (4) inclusive infrastructural development, (5) livelihood diversification and (6) reducing occupational health hazards. Several important methodological considerations include (i) using multiple methodologies, (ii) applying participatory methods, (iii) collecting gender-disaggregated data, (iv) integrating gender into a food systems approach in fisheries, (v) engaging an intersectional approach and (vi) operationalising equity.

小型渔业性别研究的未来：促进性别平等的优先事项和途径

本文提出了小型渔业（SSF）性别研究的未来议程。根据在第四届世界小型渔业大会（4WSFC）期间与会学者的专业见解以及对现有文献的综述，我们确定了小型渔业中值得未来研究的六个主题，以及解决这些主题的方法考虑。研究重点包括确定实现以下目标的途径：(1) 公平参与治理和决策；(2) 重视所有参与者对水生食物系统的贡献；(3) 增加获得金融服务的机会；(4) 包容性基础设施发展；(5) 生计多样化；(6) 减少职业健康危害。一些重要的方法考虑因素包括：（i）使用多种方法，（ii）采用参与式方法，（iii）收集按性别分列的数据，（iv）将性别问题纳入渔业粮食系统方法，（v）采用交叉方法，（vi）实现公平。

期刊介绍： Fish and Fisheries adopts a broad, interdisciplinary approach to the subject of fish biology and fisheries. It draws contributions in the form of major synoptic papers and syntheses or meta-analyses that lay out new approaches, re-examine existing findings, methods or theory, and discuss papers and commentaries from diverse areas. Focal areas include fish palaeontology, molecular biology and ecology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, ecology, behaviour, evolutionary studies, conservation, assessment, population dynamics, mathematical modelling, ecosystem analysis and the social, economic and policy aspects of fisheries where they are grounded in a scientific approach. A paper in Fish and Fisheries must draw upon all key elements of the existing literature on a topic, normally have a broad geographic and/or taxonomic scope, and provide general points which make it compelling to a wide range of readers whatever their geographical location. So, in short, we aim to publish articles that make syntheses of old or synoptic, long-term or spatially widespread data, introduce or consolidate fresh concepts or theory, or, in the Ghoti section, briefly justify preliminary, new synoptic ideas. Please note that authors of submissions not meeting this mandate will be directed to the appropriate primary literature.
