Second, no significant difference is observed in living conditions between modern and traditional fishermen. Both groups show high well-being percentages; modern fishermen at 99.30% (SS) and traditional fishermen at 90.99% (SS), supported by the Kruskal-Wallis test (Asymp. Sig. = 0.235 > 0.05), indicating a lack of disparity in well-being based on residential conditions. Thirdly, differences in the health status of family members indicate varied well-being levels between modern and traditional fishermen.
