TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to poverty reduction in low-income countries known as the sustainable livelihoods approach is applied to understand the strategies of artisanal fisherfolk confronted by fluctuating fisheries resources.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the vulnerability of 132 national economies to potential climate change impacts on their capture fisheries using an indicator-based approach and found that countries in Central and Western Africa (e.g. Malawi, Guinea, Senegal, and Uganda), Peru and Colombia in north-western South America, and four tropical Asian countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Pakistan, and Yemen) were identified as most vulnerable.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the existing evidence of how and to what extent capture fisheries and aquaculture contribute to improving nutrition, food security, and economic growth in developing and emergent countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the contribution that inland and coastal small-scale fisheries can make to poverty alleviation and food security and make practical suggestions on ways that this contribution can be maximized.

TL;DR: The authors synthesize the pathways through which climate variability and change impact fisherfolk livelihoods at the household and community level, identifying current and potential adaptation strategies and explore the wider implications for local livelihoods, fisheries management and climate policies.
