Abstract

During the first decades of the second half of the 20th century, ‘appropriate technology’ for fishermen of developing countries had become a big issue. The various bilateral and international development agencies, busy at that time in ‘technology transfer’ projects, became eventually aware that large chunks of the machinery and equipment they were introducing in Third World countries had turned into rusty heaps. Still, such projects that mainly benefited the equipment manufacturers and their agents, but hardly the local ‘recipients’, have been promoted for years.
