Abstract

Fish were absolutely necessary for survival for many households in preindustrial societies. Because fishing waters are considered a common-pool resource, it is difficult to exclude users, and the catch is subtractable. To learn what strategies were in place to avoid fish-stock depletion and secure continuous harvests, we investigated how Indigenous Sami households in Lule lappmark, Sweden, used low-productive freshwaters between 1660 and 1780. Our aim is to show how they conducted fishing and how it was linked to rules for fishing. Our sources are contemporary 17th- and 18th-century accounts and local court rulings. Rules for fishing were developed in a self-governance context. Users and fishing areas were well defined, and users often had exclusive rights to fish. Inheritance was important but not a sufficient prerequisite to obtain access. Our research covers a period during which abundant but low-yield fishing waters per household declined, making it more difficult to survive.

现代早期萨米人家庭的淡水捕鱼策略
在前工业化社会,鱼对许多家庭的生存是绝对必要的。因为捕鱼水域被认为是一种公共资源,所以很难排除使用者,而且渔获量是可以减去的。为了了解采取了哪些策略来避免鱼类资源枯竭和确保持续收获,我们调查了瑞典Lule lappmark的土著萨米家庭在1660年至1780年间如何使用低产量的淡水。我们的目的是展示他们是如何进行捕鱼的,以及它是如何与捕鱼规则联系在一起的。我们的资料来源是当代17和18世纪的记载和当地法院的裁决。捕鱼规则是在自治的背景下制定的。使用者和捕鱼区都有明确的界定,使用者往往拥有捕鱼的专属权利。继承很重要,但不是获得访问权的充分先决条件。我们的研究涵盖了一个时期,在此期间,每户丰富但低产量的捕鱼水域减少,使其更难以生存。
