Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It is increasingly recognized that the best way forward in fisheries management—for the health of aquatic ecosystems and fish stocks, for the rights and interests of Indigenous people, for non-Indigenous fish harvesters, and for Canada in general—is to develop governance arrangements and operational systems that build bridges and links between Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Western-based fisheries science. Success factors point to the importance of (1) working relationships founded around trust and continuity, (2) recognizing that Indigenous knowledges are place-based and unique to each culture, (3) safeguarding Indigenous data sovereignty and confidentiality, (4) supporting legal and policy arrangements, and (5) providing sufficient human and financial capacity. In the Canadian context however, several entrenched legal and policy obstacles remain to pairing Indigenous knowledges and Western-based science. Until such obstacles are eliminated, or at least substantially reduced, achievement of effective knowledge pairing and the multiple social, economic, and ecological benefits that flow from it will remain elusive in Canada. This paper offers a policy and legislative agenda for addressing these obstacles.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
