Heeding the call to examine industrial fisheries with a migratory lens, this article explores how homeland processes in Vietnam-linked to the 2016 chemical spill-affect migrant fish workers' work on the high seas. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews in Vietnam and Taiwan, my paper relays two findings. First, the disaster's negative consequences undermined many men and women's ability to adequately contribute to household subsistence. Second, the inability to sustain livelihoods in Vietnam compelled migrant fish workers to exchange longer, and potentially more hazardous, workdays for additional wages and wage advances. These findings illustrate the benefits of studying industrial fisheries with a transnational prospective and can be applied to other contexts, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
响应以迁徙视角审视工业渔业的号召，本文探讨了与2016年化学品泄漏相关的越南本土进程如何影响在公海作业的流动渔业工人的工作。基于在越南和台湾的人种志田野调查及访谈，我的论文阐述了两个发现。其一，这场灾难的负面后果削弱了许多男女为家庭生计充分贡献力量的能力。其二，在越南无法维持生计迫使流动渔业工人用更长且可能更危险的工作日来换取额外工资和预支工资。这些发现说明了以跨国视角研究工业渔业的益处，并且可应用于其他背景，比如当前的新冠疫情。
