Tracking the movement of fish: skipper's logbooks and marine knowledges in fisheries management

Experts in both the line-fisheries and fisheries science sectors specialise in tracking the movement of fish. The knowledge thus gained is integral to both fishing practice and fisheries research, yet the two have often been posited against each other on opposite sides of a spectrum. This dissertation problematises the modernist divide between two different ways of knowing the sea by looking at the points of partial connections between them. It aims to perhaps change the conversations about ways of knowing the sea, so that different sectors may be able to collaborate in research with a view towards positively influencing management decisions. Skipper's logbooks represent one of the primary points of connection between two of the pivotal actors in the line-fishery and offer insight into how communication between them is currently characterised.
