摘要

Are climate-resilient small-scale fisheries more resilient in general? Small-scale fisheries are increasingly exposed to a multitude of shocks that threaten their productivity and existence. Understanding whether resilience is specific to, or generalizable across, “domains” (e.g. environmental, market, social) can help design policy interventions to support small-scale fisheries. Here, we test whether fishing economic units that exhibit higher resistance to climate shocks are also more resistant to shocks from other domains. We analyzed long-term fisheries production data from 237 economic units that were subject to two recent major shocks: a period of frequent and intense marine heatwaves (2015-2016) and market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2022). In 86.1% of the cases (N = 204), economic units exhibited similar resistance for both shocks, and concordance was higher for fishing units with low catch diversity and a balanced market portfolio. Our work suggests that resilience may be generalizable across domains.
