• Subsistence fishingRelated: Shared fish stocks create competition among households and other fishing groups.

• CommonsBroader topic: Many commons govern resources with these defining access and use problems.

• PropertyCompared with: It exposes the tension between individual control and shared, depletable resources.

• Water rightsNarrower topic: Shared water often has these characteristics, shaping collective governance.
