Not by Rent Alone: Analysing the Pro-Poor Functions of Small-Scale Fisheries in Developing Countries

Putting the principles of the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach into fisheries development policy and practice
TL;DR: The SLA has been widely used in coastal and fisheries development research and has informed the design of development programmes but experience of operationalising it remains largely undocumented as mentioned in this paper. But it has helped to align fisheries policy with wider poverty reduction initiatives and to identify means of contributing to poverty reduction that do not directly increase pressure on fully or over-exploited fish resources.

The Economic Theory of a Common-Property Resource: The Fishery
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the economic theory of natural resource utilization as it pertains to the fishing industry and showed that most of the problems associated with the words "conservation" or "depletion" or ''overexploitation" in the fishery are, in reality, manifestations of the fact that the natural resources of the sea yield no economic rent.
