Fluid subsistences: towards a better understanding of northern livelihoods

In this collection we learn about varied livelihoods that are roughly grouped as northern small-scale fisheries.

Two messages are particularly salient, and hence they connect nearly all the papers: First, that small-scale fishing is paramount for social and cultural livelihoods, and an indispensable resource for reproduction of coastal communities. And second, that certain fish related practices are changing, or currently under threat, and thus threatening the core subsistence of coastal communities.
