Theorists and modellers have made significant progress in defining ecological and economic parameters for measuring the "costs" of fisheries. Social dimensions have not, however, received equal attention. This article enquires into the nature of social costs and how they might be assessed in a cross-cultural perspective. The proposed approach has three underpinnings(1) social concerns, as manifested in international declarations; (2) human interests as defined by ethics; and (3) the hierarchy of needs, as distinguished by the social psychologist Maslow. Together, these sources suggest three dimensions for the measurement of social costs and benefits, relating to basic needs or wellbeing, social justice and self-realization. One current method for investigating social costs along these lines is the job satisfaction survey. The article concludes with an assessment of the job satisfaction studies that have been done in fisheries.
