Distribution of fishing gears
The perceptions about the distribution of fishing gears through time are positive and not
significantly different between the six villages (Table 16.14). This is the same result as was seen in
the analysis of the larger database of 28 villages. The perception of the distribution of gears is
more positive in fishers having higher job satisfaction, relatively expensive gear types, and who
are happy with the fisheries rules (Table 16.12). It is also more positive in villages with communal
fishing activities. The perception is more negative where fishers have an external income. Fishers
who are in favor of bending rules have a more positive perception of the equity in the distribution
of gears as do fishers who say that in their village, decision-making is by the majority.
Currently, the distribution is significantly fairer in Seri than in the other villages and they
expect it to be even more so in the future. In this village, there has been a recent rapid expansion
of the lift net and seiner baitfishery and associated infrastructure. Larger numbers of modern
