dc.description.abstractA number of considerable speculations have been raised on the effectiveness of information and communications technology (ICT) within the fisheries industries. Thus, the main aim of this study was to investigate the usage of offshore ICT among fishermen in Malaysia. The study was conducted among 400 registered fishermen from four fisheries districts in Malaysia, and mobile phones recorded the highest level of usage among fishermen. This is due to the technology's affordability and superior functions in terms of improving the fishermen's safety, as well as marketing aspects, while intensifying the information and knowledge management process. Apart from mobile phones, a substantial number of fishermen use GPS at a high level. However, few use advanced offshore technologies such as sonar, echo sounders, radar and wireless sets, due to the fact that these are largely unsuited to their fishing operations. A number of recommendations are highlighted, which can be referred to by concerned parties to further enhance ICT usage among fishermen in Malaysia.en_US
