The fisheries sector, exemplified here by Malawi's Karonga District, illustrates the global consequences of insufficient ethical considerations, leading to the depletion of fisheries resources. Using data spanning from 2012 to 2021, including frame surveys and catch assessment surveys, this study employs ethical theories and the ethical matrix to identify and analyse ethical issues. The observed concerns include illegal fishing, heightened investment in a limited resource fishery, consumption of the critically endangered Chambo species, the environmental impact of trawl surveys, technological overreliance, and inadequate resource support from local politicians. Recommendations encompass ending open-access fisheries, revising biomass assessment methods, promoting mindset change, implementing poverty alleviation programmes, promoting aquaculture development, and enhancing the establishment of freshwater protected areas as sites for biodiversity conservation. Ending open-access to fisheries as stipulated in the international frameworks Diversified strategies to reduce poverty incidence, especially for the lakeshore communities Promotion of aquaculture development Environmental DNA to replace trawl surveys in biomass surveys Mindset change to embrace ethical fishery.

The advent of intelligent technologies, notably Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs), has introduced novel privacy dilemmas. Ensuring judicious privacy transfer is imperative for the application of BCI technology and pivotal for fostering economic and technological progress. This study adopts privacy transfer as the research perspective and employs an ethical matrix as the research method. It establishes BCI users as the central core interests, with marketers, developers, and medical personnel as stakeholders. Departing from the binary opposition of public and private in traditional privacy theory, this article proposes ethical principles such as maximizing benefits, minimizing harm, and respecting independent decision-making power. It constructs a judgment matrix for the privacy transfer of BCIs, utilizing this matrix to identify ethical risks like privacy disclosure and hijacking. This study analyzes the reasons for risks, aiming to overcome dilemmas and construct an ethical matrix to explore privacy transfer boundary division methods suitable for BCI technology and tailored to different stakeholders.
