Abstract

Sometimes an academic paper is especially known for its intriguing title, like the one by Chris Béné, which stated that smallscale fisheries “rhymes with poverty”. He not only referred to the fact that small-scale fishers and fishworkers are poor, often extremely so. He also alluded to the way they are generally perceived; the image of small-scale fishing as “an occupation of last resort”, that is, what people do when they have no other alternative to sustain themselves.
