The main types of fishing conducted by the cohort were finfishing (159\/215) and crabbing (154\/215). Of the 215 fishers, 83 reported that they had suffered an injury event in the previous 12 months, a retrospective recall incidence proportion of 38.6 per 100 workers (95% confidence interval 32.1 to 45.1). The 83 injury events resulted in 94 injuries; 47% were penetrating wounds and 24% were strains\/sprains. Half of injuries were to the hand\/wrist\/digits and 13% were to the back. Of the penetrating wounds, 87% were to the hand\/wrist\/digits, 32% became infected, and 80% were caused by contact with finfish, shellfish, or other marine animal. Of the strains\/sprains, 48% were to the back and 26% were to the shoulder. Seventy percent of strains\/sprains were caused by moving heavy objects, mainly either while hauling in nets, pots, or lines or loading\/unloading the boat.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> In this group of small scale, independent fishers, the most common reported injuries were penetrating wounds to the hand\/wrist\/digits from marine animals and strains\/sprains to the back while moving heavy objects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.2003.005058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,16]],"date-time":"2004-08-16T14:42:35Z","timestamp":1092667355000},"page":"217-221","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Work related injuries in small scale commercial fishing"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"S W","family":"Marshall","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Kucera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Loomis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M A","family":"McDonald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H J","family":"Lipscomb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092504403611000_10.4.217.1","unstructured":"Ramazzini B .
