Exposing multiple masculinities across hierarchies and performance and experience of risk-taking on-board tuna longlining vessels in the Western and Central Pacific

Key Points

• Exposing multiple masculinities influences risk-taking behaviors among longlining crew members.
• Crew dynamics show that performance in risk-taking is linked to hierarchical structures on vessels.
• Analysis reveals significant variations in how masculinity is expressed across different roles on the ships.
• Understanding these dynamics may enhance safety protocols and crew cooperation in the tuna fishing industry.
