Abstract
The
survival
of the
lobster
fishery
is
dependent
on
many
factors
,
both
inside
and
outside
the
fishing
household.
This
thesis
argues
that an
adequate
explanation
of the
survival
of this
petty
commodity
form
of
production
necessitates
an
understanding
of the
tension
between
external
structures
such
as
state
policies
and the
internal
dynamics
of
fishing
households.
It
examines
the
impact
of
changing
state
policies
,
during
the
period
of the
mid-1960s
to the
1980s
, on the
survival
of
lobster
fishing
households.
Recent
changes
in the
area
of
licensing
and
unemployment
insurance
programs
,
resulted
in
both
new
constraints
and
new
opportunities
for the
survival
of
lobster
fishing
households
in
PEI.
--
Many
analyses
of the
survival
of
fishing
production
have
focused
on the
influence
of
state
policy
on the
activities
and
decisions
of the
fisher.
However
,
fishers
are
embedded
in
fishing
households.
State
policies
impact
on
members
of
fishing
households
,
other
than the
fisher
, and the
survival
of the
fishing
unit
is
dependent
on the
ability
of the
household
as a
whole
to
respond
to
changes
in
state
policy.
--
Drawing
on
data
from
interviews
with
men
and
women
in
fishing
households
in
Naufrage
,
located
in
northeastern
P.E.I.
, this
thesis
demonstrates
that
household
members
have
actively
and
creatively
responded
to
changes
in
state
policy
in
developing
strategies
to
reproduce
their
production
unit.
Initiatives
on the
part
of
women
have been a
key
component
in
household
survival
strategies.
They have
creatively
adapted
to the
constraints
of
external
forces
as
well
as
lobbied
for
changes
in
state
policy
that
, in
turn
,
extended
the
survival
options
for
fishing
families.
The
success
of
survival
strategies
depends
on the
internal
characteristics
of the
fishing
household
such
as
life-cycle
and the
intersection
of
gender
relations
and
household
dynamics.
