The assimilation of technology into economic improvement for low income b40 fishermen in northern Malaysia

In Malaysia, fisheries technology has been used for decades and has effectively replaced some traditional fishing methods in the fisheries sector. The evolution of fisheries technology has changed how fishermen catch and process fish in their daily routines. However, within the fisheries sector, the...
