Abstract

The management of risks attached to fishing involves specific residential strategies. Some fishermen minimise these risks by living with relatives who are engaged in other activities, but others prefer to live with other fishermen, provided that they are at least as successful as themselves. The strategies chosen are conditioned by the status occupied by the individuals studied in the fisherman's hierarchy. The higher the status, the larger the household, but also the less significant the participation of its female members in the labour market and the importance of their contribution to familial resources. Indeed, the management of risks attached to fishing involves also long term strategies. The higher one is in the hierarchy of fishermen, the more one invests in the long term by both having more children and by providing each of them with a post primary form of schooling.
