Undated typewritten draft of an essay by Raymond Firth titled "Fishing on the Kelantan Coast, Malaya: Estimation of Income." Firth explains the difficulties of getting an accurate estimate of incomes of fishing communities and individual fishermen: 1) the income is from a variety of sources, 2) the yields from these sources vary, 3) the number of workers varies, 4) the use of rebates on losses makes tracking such transactions impossible, and 5) the rules for distribution of income vary. The researcher must also know the local terms and customs of the fishing industry when collecting data.

Based on more than a decade of field research, this colorful report on the high-touch craft of shellfish diving, takes us to the coast of the Shima Peninsula in central Japan. Based on more than a decade of field research, this colorful report on the high-touch craft of shellfish diving, takes us to the coast of the Shima Peninsula in central Japan. Here most of the divers (ama) are women and many of them are older with an average age of 50. By taking you into different settings where the divers operate, the program allows you to sample a social environment in which fierce individual competition underwater is checked and balanced by a spirited colleagueship carefully nurtured among groups of divers as they relax on shore. The program is suitable for use at the secondary school level and above, for courses not only about Japan, but about gender, aging, and sustainable environments, or "fit surroundings." A study guide which includes additional information and suggested readings is available.

directed by Anna Grimshaw, fl. 1989-2014, in George's Place (London, England: Royal Anthropological Institute, 2020), 1 hour 4 mins
The summer draws to a close, but the season is not yet over. Work continues -- baiting and hauling traps, sorting and shipping lobsters. There are always tasks to be done. But within the daily demands of the fishing season, there are moments of respite and community.
