Resumen

This paper describes the development of a set of indicators for monitoring sustainable fishery management in Songkhla Lake, Thailand. Data and information for developing these indicators were collected through questionnaires administered to fishermen, interviews of other stakeholders, and focus group discussions among experts. The results revealed ten significant monitoring indicators, which are grouped into four categories - five ecological, one economic, two community, and two legal and institutional. They were selected so as to obtain the minimum number of indicators and to obtain indicators that are understandable, applicable, precise, sensitive, and linked to sustainability. They are expected to provide a useful tool for supporting the decision-making process of relevant organizations and achieving sustainable fishery management in Songkhla Lake.
