Fishermen's perception and the estuarine set bag net fishery in Bangladesh

A five point Likert scale was developed to study fishermen’s perception of the Estuarine Set bag Net (ESBN) fishery of Bangladesh. Twenty five scalable questions with their probable answers were identified and ranked through focused group discussion with the fishermen and the key informant of the vi...

Twenty five scalable questions with their probable answers were identified and ranked through focused group discussion with the fishermen and the key informant of the villages investigated.

The combined mean value (4.46) for all variables, the means of the composite attributes and individual mean values for each variable were found significant at 5% level of significance. The highest mean (4.88) was observed for the variable “Have you ever been encouraged to practice community management system for ESBN fishery?” while the minimum mean value (3.61) was found for the variable “Which species would you prefer for commercial purposes?” For composite attributes, the highest mean (4.64) was observed for “Present occupational satisfaction” while the lowest (4.11) was found for “Bio-diversity”.
