Post-harvest practices and technologies are key to reducing global aquatic harvest loss. The lives of post-harvest fisheries workers, over half of them women, are deeply affected by these technologies, but their equity and equality outcomes are poorly understood. This systematic review synthesizes evidence of post-harvest aquatic food processing technology outcomes, showing that persistent inequalities in social structure and norms disadvantage women across a range of technologies, both traditional and improved, especially regarding control over resources. We found that improved technologies bring enhanced productivity and possibly income for workers, yet contracts are often precarious due to pre-existing social inequities. While power and control of resources is more unequal in factory settings, it is not necessarily equal in traditional contexts either, despite offering greater flexibility. More rigorous comparative research, including voices of diverse actors, is key to understanding the impacts of different technologies on gender equality and social justice and inform policymaking.

捕捞后做法和技术是减少全球水产捕捞损失的关键。这些技术对捕捞后的渔业工人（其中一半以上是女性）的生活深受影响，但人们对其公平和平等结果知之甚少。本系统评价综合了收获后水产食品加工技术结果的证据，表明社会结构和规范方面的持续不平等在一系列技术（包括传统技术和改进技术）中使女性处于不利地位，尤其是在资源控制方面。我们发现，改进的技术可以提高工人的生产力，并可能为工人带来收入，但由于先前存在的社会不平等，合同往往不稳定。虽然在工厂环境中，权力和资源控制更加不平等，但在传统环境中也不一定相等，尽管提供了更大的灵活性。更严格的比较研究，包括不同行为者的声音，是了解不同技术对性别平等和社会正义的影响并为政策制定提供信息的关键。
