El proceso de difusión tecnológica en la pesca de altura del norte de España

Abstract

If something characterizes the great growth of the Spanish fishing sector throughout the 20th century, it is the constant adoption of technological innovations by the sector companies. The technical change process experienced by the sector up to 1961 was based on the purchase of technology, initially directly form foreign boat owners, and after the 1930s, from other subsectors of the national economy. It led to the development of a smaller series of shipyards specialized in the building fishing boats. Different track records emerged depending on the geographical region in which the fishing companies were established.
