在全球渔业危机中，人们对促进渔业的适应性和复原力非常感兴趣，以此作为减少脆弱性和提高渔业社会适应变化的能力的一种手段。然而，增强复原力并不会自动改善人们的福祉，适应战略充满了人们必须谈判的困难选择或权衡。本文使用渔业的背景下，探讨一些明显的紧张局势之间的适应变化，一方面，追求幸福的另一方面，并说明权衡可以在不同的规模。它认为，寻求支持渔业复原力的政策需要建立在更好地理解适应对渔民福祉的广泛影响的基础上，该机构的人在谈判其适应战略时发挥作用，以及这如何反馈到渔业作为一个社会生态系统的复原力。本文借鉴了代理和适应性偏好的理论，以说明如何代理可能会更好地纳入弹性辩论。
In the midst of a global fisheries crisis, there has been great interest in the fostering of adaptation and resilience in fisheries, as a means to reduce vulnerability and improve the capacity of fishing society to adapt to change. However, enhanced resilience does not automatically result in improved well-being of people, and adaptation strategies are riddled with difficult choices, or trade-offs, that people must negotiate. This paper uses the context of fisheries to explore some apparent tensions between adapting to change on the one hand, and the pursuit of well-being on the other, and illustrates that trade-offs can operate at different levels of scale. It argues that policies that seek to support fisheries resilience need to be built on a better understanding of the wide range of consequences that adaptation has on fisher well-being, the agency people exert in negotiating their adaptation strategies, and how this feeds back into the resilience of fisheries as a social-ecological system. The paper draws from theories on agency and adaptive preferences to illustrate how agency might be better incorporated into the resilience debate.
