such as no fishing during the spawning season or
within spawning grounds, and controls over
discharging fuel and wastes (Table 8). However, the
respondents disagreed with some future measures
(i.e. controlling the quantity of fish catches, number
of fishers, and time for fishing) and would not
participate or cooperate in their implementation.
They thought that these measures would affect their
fish catches and income. In addition, the WAI of
respondents’ opinions on those measures differed
between study sites. The WAI at the downstream
site was higher than at the other sites. This might
have been because most respondents at that site
depend on fishing. They were apprehensive that
those proposed measures would affect their
livelihood (Table 9).
