“…Similar findings were obtained by studies conducted by Lin 27 ; Beria et al 28 ; Annie et al 29 The possible reason for this finding could be more exposure of males to noise than that of females as the major occupation of the region is fishing and coir industries (fisheries department), where there is a high chance of exposure to noise by men. Study conducted by Zytoon 30 has shown the level of noise exposure (84.7-94.3) to exceed NIOSH criteria 31 of 85 dB for fishermen working aboard small and medium fishing vessels. Further, high rate of ear related disorders was observed in adults compared to children.…”

“…Hearing problems were expected for all the age groups due to continuous exposure to engine noise on SM fishing vessels [13,43]. The occurrence rate was highest among the older fishermen because of the effect of aging, e.g., in the form of presbycusis.…”

Although marine fishing is one of the most hazardous occupations, research on the occupational safety and health (OSH) conditions aboard marine fishing vessels is scarce. For instance, little is known about the working conditions of vulnerable groups such as young and aging fishermen. The objective of the current paper is to study the OSH conditions of young and aging fishermen compared to middle-aged fishermen in the small- and medium-size (SM) marine fishing sector. A cross-sectional study was designed, and 686 fishermen working aboard SM fishing vessels were interviewed to collect information about their safety and health. The associations of physical and psychosocial work conditions with safety and health outcomes, e.g., injuries, illnesses and job satisfaction, are presented. The results of the current study can be utilized in the design of effective accident prevention and OSH training programs for the three age groups and in the regulation of working conditions aboard fishing vessels.

“…There are also important health risks associated with small-scale fisheries food system activities. Producing fish can be a dangerous occupation, with a daily threat of injury or loss of life (Perez-Labajos et al, 2009;Zytoon, 2012Zytoon, , 2013. Due to the nature of the work, fishers and processors can be vulnerable to waterborne and communicable diseases, including high incidence of HIV and AIDS (e.g.…”

Fish from marine and inland capture fisheries are amongst the most eaten foods and traded commodities in the world and therefore contribute significantly to supporting livelihoods, food security and health (Béné et al., 2016;Kawarazuka & Béné, 2010;Loring et al., 2019). According to FAO (2020), 120 million people are dependent on fisheries for their livelihoods, almost 97 per cent of those people are in developing countries and more than 90 per cent participate in small-scale fisheries (FAO, 2020;Loring et al., 2019).
