摘要印度东北部的原住民社区与大陆隔绝，生活在一个独特的文化环境中。由于接触程度高，对地面现实有更好的了解，他们可能在感知、预测和适应气候变化方面拥有丰富的传统知识。我们通过参与性农村评估（PRA）获取并展示了该地区关于鱼类和渔业的传统知识。我们的研究表明，生态和气候状况是通过传统的治理制度和地方自治来维持的。土著人民的当地技能、工具、技术、智慧、信仰和服饰在灾害期间起到减震器的作用，并成功地建立了抵御气候灾害的能力。这些知识大多数代代相传，成为生活、文化和宗教的一部分。社区一级渔业的适应战略有助于减少易受干旱、洪水和降雨模式不稳定等极端天气影响的脆弱性。渔业对气候变化的适应可以通过精细尺度空间和基层的战略来解释。只有通过广泛的评估、研究、承认和促进当地技能、文化、土著知识以及社区渔业，才能将适应气候变化的努力纳入主流。
Abstract Aboriginal communities of Northeast (NE) India remained in isolation from the mainland and lived in a distinct cultural milieu with the environment. Due to the high degree of exposure and better insight of ground realities, they may have rich traditional knowledge of perception, prediction, and adaptation to climate change. We accessed and illustrated the traditional knowledge on fish and fisheries from the region through participatory rural appraisal (PRA). Our study revealed that ecological and climatic circumstances are maintained through the traditional system of governance and local self-government. Local skills, tools, techniques, wisdom, beliefs and costumes of the aboriginal people act as a shock absorber during disasters and successfully build resilience to climatic hazards. Most of this knowledge was transmitted over successive generations and became a part of living, cultural and religion sustenance. Adaptation strategies at community level fisheries helps in reducing vulnerabilities to extreme weather such as drought, flood and erratic rainfall pattern. Adaptation to climate change in fisheries can decipher through strategies available from fine-scale spatial and grassroots levels. Mainstreaming of climate change adaptation efforts can only be achieved through extensive assessment, research, recognition and promotion of local skills, culture, indigenous knowledge as well as community-based fisheries.
