Abstract
This research focuses on examining changes in gender roles of mobile gear fishers resulting from the boom of aquacultural development. It identifies advantages and disadvantages of aquacultural development, including women’s needs. Local people and the research team examined changes in gender roles in livelihood activities by analyzing labor division in productive, reproductive and community activities as well as in managing and making decisions. Mobile gear fishers have been active on the lagoon since early Vietnamese history. They fish using gillnet, push net and dragnet, and chom (which is fishing-tackle used in daytime).
