  abstract = {{R}esilience thinking is an important addition to the range of frameworks and approaches that can be used to understand and manage complex social-ecological systems like small-scale fisheries. {H}owever, it is yet to lead to better environmental or development outcomes for fisheries stakeholders in terms of food security, improved livelihoods and ecological sustainability. {T}his paper takes an empirical approach by focusing on the fundamentals of resilience thinking to evaluate its usefulness in developing relevant management interventions in small-scale fisheries in the {N}iger {R}iver {B}asin in {W}est {A}frica. {T}he paper presents the outputs of a participatory assessment exercise where both fishery communities and local experts were involved at two different scales. {T}he resilience frame used was designed to facilitate the identification of socially defined thresholds that help delineate the desirability of the current system configuration and provides a diagnosis framework that tailors management solutions to problems in local context. {T}he analysis highlights some key contributions from resilience thinking to the challenge of diagnosis in small-scale fisheries management in developing countries, as well as important contributions that emerge from taking a pragmatic and critical approach to its application.},
