This paper reflects on the effects of eco-certification on small-scale fisheries and the possibilities for including social sustainability considerations in fisheries certification schemes for small-scale fisheries. The paper reviews existing eco-certification schemes and presents empirical data on Danish small-scale fisheries and a new Danish certification scheme. Our findings suggest the universalism most eco-certification schemes build on needs to be critically examined and that the wage worker-centrism that characterizes most work on social sustainability indicators is not universally applicable in all fisheries. Social sustainability criteria need to be continually revised to take sociocultural contexts into account and avoid the unintentional exclusion of certain segments.

在小规模渔业生态认证中考虑社会可持续性——为什么以及如何？

本文反映了生态认证对小规模渔业的影响，以及将社会可持续性考虑纳入小规模渔业渔业认证计划的可能性。本文回顾了现有的生态认证计划，并介绍了丹麦小规模渔业和新的丹麦认证计划的经验数据。我们的研究结果表明，大多数生态认证计划所基于的普遍主义需要进行严格审查，并且大多数社会可持续性指标工作的工资工人中心主义并不普遍适用于所有渔业。需要不断修订社会可持续性标准，以考虑社会文化背景并避免无意中排除某些细分市场。
