Fig. 3: Global archetypes of marine small-scale fisheries.
The five archetypes are identified based on their similarities on operational, economic, technological and post-harvest attributes. They can be grouped as follows: group 1 (small-scale fisheries acting as nutrition and income safety nets), group 2 (in-between seasonal small-scale fisheries) and group 3 (small-scale fisheries as economic engines). Archetypes were identified using multilevel LCCA (1,255 fishery units from 43 countries). The mean value and standard error of each attribute per archetypes is shown (Supplementary Table 5), where a value of 0 represents an absent/very low magnitude and 3 a high one (Extended Data Table 2). N is the number of fishery units per archetype. Arch., archetype.
