In India, since the 1990s, the state has formed numerous locally situated organisations for decentralising governance of natural resources (DGNR). However, these organisations largely remain ineffective in addressing resource issues at the local scale, devolution, and participatory governance. Fishery at Chilika lagoon located in the eastern coast of Odisha, India is not any exception. While the state continues to experiment with different forms of local resource governing organisations, the current article investigates two such DGNR organisations, that is, the Chilika Development Authority and Primary Fishery Cooperative located at Chilika to understand varied issues faced by Chilika fisheries. The article argues that contemporary natural resource governing organisational arrangements at Chilika limit decentralisation, which in practice becomes a mere reduction in the scale of territorial extension.

The roles played in fishery resource management by the nonhuman species that coevolve with humans are often marginalized in both discourse and practice. Built on existing reviews of the multispecies ethnography of maritime conservation, domestication, and marine biology, this article aims to reconceptualize the politics of difference in stock enhancement. By examining the herring stock enhancement program in Japan as an assemblage of multispecies inter- and intra-action in the context of marine science and seascaping, this article recontextualizes fisheries management and crosses the methodological and ontological borders in maritime studies. The article shows that multispecies ethnography serves as a heuristic means to describe the co-constitution of seascapes, which are beings, things, and bodies of information and processes that shape marine surroundings, or what fisheries biologists and fisheries resource managers tend to overlook as mere background.
