FISP: Interviews on Fishing Practices and Market Changes in Wales and England

Researchers conducted social science interviews with active and retired crustacean fishers in Wales and the north east of England. The interviews focused on changes in fishing practices over time and included processors, buyers, exporters, and enforcement officers. The data was gathered by Bangor University using a fisher contact list and snowball sampling.

Use Cases

• Analyze qualitative trends in fishing practices over time based on fisher interviews.
