Small-scale fisheries (SSF) provide livelihoods for millions of people, contribute to global food security and economic development, and are considered a less aggressive type of fishing activity. Therefore, SSF can significantly contribute to sustainable development, particularly in areas related to the sea and marine resources. However, the characteristics of the local communities involved in SSF, and their organisational and managerial capacities, can significantly affect the effectiveness and sustainability of the activity.

From this perspective, this paper discusses different aspects of the contribution of community-based fisheries organisations (CBFOs) to sustainable development in SSF. To do this, a comparative analysis was carried out for several European, Southeast Asian and South Asian countries, in contexts with institutional, historical and environmental diversity. The cases studied are Spain, Portugal, Cambodia, Vietnam and Bangladesh. The analysis was based on the approaches from the New Institutional Economics and the Social and Solidarity Economy (specifically on compliance with the cooperative principles).

小规模渔业 (SSF) 为数百万人提供生计，促进全球粮食安全和经济发展，被认为是一种较不激进的捕鱼活动。因此，小规模渔业可以为可持续发展做出重大贡献，特别是在与海洋和海洋资源相关的领域。然而，参与小规模渔业的当地社区的特征及其组织和管理能力，会显着影响活动的有效性和可持续性。

从这个角度，本文讨论了社区渔业组织 (CBFO)对小规模渔业可持续发展的贡献的不同方面。为此，在制度、历史和环境多样性的背景下，对几个欧洲、东南亚和南亚国家进行了比较分析。研究的案例是西班牙、葡萄牙、柬埔寨、越南和孟加拉国。该分析基于新制度经济学和社会与团结经济的方法（特别是遵守合作原则）。
