Abstract
We know surprisingly little about the forms of social organisation and processes of social reproduction of inshore fishing in late twentieth century Europe. Most of the evidence is fragmentary and derives mainly from anthropological studies undertaken in the remoter areas of the Atlantic Fringe in the 1960s and 1970s, focusing largely on pre-industrial forms of fishing activity. Indeed, thanks to the sustained programme of studies by the Institute of Social and Economic Research at the Memorial University in St John’s, we know far more about the social organisation of Newfoundland fisheries than we do about the whole of northern and western Europe.
