Hydropower development can result in both environmental and social change. Modification of riparian environments and the creation of storage reservoirs can alter fish assemblages, change access arrangements and create new opportunities within and outside fishing. These opportunities may be perceived differently by different stakeholders, leading to changes in the fishery and, ultimately, with implications for the nature and distribution of benefits from the fishery. Focusing on a trap fishery for freshwater prawn Macrobrachium vollenhovenii (Herklots), this study examines the way access arrangements changed in response to the rehabilitation of the Mount Coffee run‐of‐river hydropower scheme on the lower reaches of the Saint Paul River in Liberia. Through the use of interviews and limited participant observation, the study explores the responses to change resulting from the rehabilitation, highlighting the way that agency and bargaining power contributed to shaping the formation of a fisher group and the new access arrangements that they have begun to develop.

水电开发导致渔业准入安排的变化：利比里亚Mount Coffee水电计划的水库渔业案例

水电的发展可以导致环境和社会的变化。改变河岸环境和建立储水库可以改变鱼群，改变出入安排，并在捕捞内部和外部创造新的机会。不同的利益相关者对这些机会的看法可能不同，从而导致渔业的变化，并最终影响到渔业收益的性质和分配。专注于捕捞淡水虾的捕捞沼虾（Herklots），这项研究考察了利比里亚圣保罗河下游因咖啡山过河水电计划的恢复而改变通行安排的方式。通过使用访谈和有限的参与者观察，该研究探索了恢复带来的对变化的响应，强调了代理和讨价还价能力如何影响着渔民群体的形成以及他们已经开始发展的新的获取安排。 。
