Technical Report
From the Forward: The idea for an Exploratory Workshop on Fisheries Sociology emerged from
informal discussions held at the 1983 Rural Sociological Society meetings.
Planning for the Exploratory Workshop was undertaken by the two of us (Bailey
and Harris) with the assistance of Peter Sinclair and Christopher Vanderpool.
We sought to identify persons working in different areas of the sociology of
fisheries who could present review papers on their areas of inquiry. The
papers in this volume are the result of that effort.
At the same time, we sought to identify persons who would be interested in
attending such a workshop• By combining our personal networks, the mailing
list of the Fisheries Anthropologist at the National Marine Fisheries Service
(Peter Fricke), and the list of attendees at two sessions on fisheries
organized by Bailey at the 1984 Rural Sociological Society meetings, we
developed a mailing list of 83 sociologists working on some aspect of
fisheries. Invitations to attend the workshop were sent to those persons.
In response to the invitation, 24 sociologists attended the Workshop.
They came from eleven states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, three
provinces of Canada, and Norway. They represented work in both industrialized
and developing nations, in subsistence, recreational and commercial fisheries,
and in aquaculture.
