Abstract

<p>This paper illustrates the reasons why fishers over 65 years old, that make up 36% of fishers, continue fishery while some fishers retire at this point. After interviews with 9 retirees and 19 active fishers, both groups aged around eighty, we concluded as follows. Many unintentionally retired fishers wanted to continue fishery. Active fishers who operated fishery as a family businesses were either willing to fish or wishing to retire if their replacements were available. While per-year days at sea of self-employed fishers vary, they equally expressed hardship: their fishery income was not enough to cover living expenses, so they had to spend pension revenue. A sort of fisher and fishing gear-matching system will help realizing their desires.</p>
