摘要：本文借鉴人类学研究和区域渔业的长期观察，研究在美属萨摩亚和北方马里亚纳群岛联邦的小规模和传统的渔业经营的社会文化和资源管理方面。在这两个群岛进行了人种学和调查研究，主要目的是描述和分析传统和习惯捕鱼活动的性质和范围以及相关的海产品分配做法。由此产生的描述和分析的重点是触发捕捞努力和促进分布在整个研究区域的大家庭和社区设置的海产品的因素。研究结果表明，海产食品在饮食方面以及在社会组织和文化连续性方面仍然很重要;这些问题是结合西太平洋两个正在进行的资源管理问题进行讨论的。
Abstract: This article draws on anthropological research and long-term observation of regional fisheries to examine sociocultural and resource management dimensions of small-scale and traditional fishing operations in American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Ethnographic and survey research were undertaken in both archipelagos with the principal objective of describing and analyzing the nature and extent of traditional and customary fishing activities and associated seafood distribution practices. The resulting description and analysis focus on factors that trigger fishing effort and facilitate distribution of seafood in extended family and community settings across the study regions. Research findings indicate the ongoing importance of seafood in dietary terms and in terms of social organization and cultural continuity; these are discussed in relation to two ongoing resource management issues in the western Pacific.
