摘要:Small-scale fisheries (SSFs) are social-ecological systems that play a critical role in terms of food security andpoverty alleviation in Latin America. These fisheries are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic and climatic drivers actingat multiple scales. We review the effects of climate variability on Latin American SSFs, and discuss the combined effects oftwo additional human drivers: globalization of markets and governance. We show drastic long-term and large-scale effects ofclimate variability, e.g., sea surface temperature anomalies, wind intensity, sea level, and climatic indices, on SSFs. Thesevariables, acting in concert with economic drivers, have exacerbated stock depletion rates in Latin American SSFs. The impactof these drivers varied according to the life cycle and latitudinal distribution of the target species, the characteristics of theoceanographic systems, and the inherent features of the social systems. Our review highlights the urgent need to improvemanagement and governance systems to promote resilience as a way to cope with the increasing uncertainty about the impactsof climate and globalization of markets on Latin American SSFs
