Based on the indicators of the catch variable in this study, the catch is very dependent on the length of time spent at sea.…”

“…Furthermore, the economic welfare of fishermen is very dependent on the catch, which is determined by internal factors that come from the time allocation of fishermen while at sea. Then, in order to achieve sustainable use of marine fisheries resources, fisheries management policies should be developed to improve total yield control and ecosystem reconstruction [11].…”

This research is motivated by the catch and the fishermen family welfare in West Sumatra Province is not yet optimal, so this study aims to analyze the factors that affect them. Furthermore, the novelty of this research is to carry out an elaboration of studies on fishermen households by focusing on the analysis of catches and the fishermen family welfare being investigated within a simultaneous equation framework. The population in this study were fishing households in West Sumatra Province which had 498 fishing gears. The sampling in this study used the cluster method, which a total sample of 373 respondents. The important finding in this study is the catch will increase if it is driven by the fishermen family welfare, the type of catch, fishermen productivity and fishermen socio-cultural environment. Furthermore, the fishermen family welfare will improve if it is driven by catch, fishermen socio-cultural environment, selling price of fish and fishermen family happiness. The recommendation from this study is that the government needs to facilitate increasing catches and fishermen family welfare through fishermen insurance programs, institutions, funding and business diversification training based on the bottom up concept so that fishermen have access and stronger bargaining power.

“…This low quality of life for fishermen will lead to greater unintended effects, including low education for their children, resulting in poor hereditary fate from one generation to another. Some fishermen are involved in social problems such as substance abuse, gangsterism, and theft, and others as the easy way out of their uncomfortably challenging lives (Amir Zal et al, 2020).…”

Fishing is categorized as a low-income economic sector, especially in developing countries. The amount of fish disembarkation is highly seasonal, and the price is fluctuating, mostly due to fish migration, wind direction, involvement of commercialized fishing cartels, government interventions, and others. Most hardcore fishermen depend solely on their catch to support their families, thus, contributing to the instability of their monthly income. This situation makes fishermen as those living under the poverty line. It is a rare occasion when fishermen are also involved in entrepreneurial activities. Therefore, this study is proposed to identify the challenges that hinder fishermen from getting involved in entrepreneurship activities, which can improve their standard of living. It is also meant to recognize and leverage the potentials that fishermen possess so that they can be groomed to be successful entrepreneurs in the future. Data for this study were collected through interviews with the Chairman of the Fishermen Association and selected fishermen and fisherpreneurs in Terengganu, Malaysia. Studying them in detail using a qualitative (interview) approach allows the development of a practical business model that can help fishermen enhance their standard of living. The study is also expected to be regarded as a starting point for other future research efforts to help fishermen get involved in business ventures.
