This paper aims to provide a sense of past, present and future research activity dealing with small-scale fisheries in Canada and the United States. While this is necessarily a subjective account, hopefully it provides area sonable overview of the debates and directions in fisheries research. The use of the term <<small-scale>> deserves specific comment, since this concept, so common in discussions of developing fisheries, is almost absent from the everyday fisheries language of North America. Hence a key component of this discussion, to be considered at the outset, involves examining what <<small-scale>> might mean in the North American context. A few words about the focus and scope of this paper are in order. Since both Canada and the U.S. have developed an extensive fisheries research infrastructure, and have produced voluminous research work on fisheries, any review such as this must be somewhat selective. The reader will note a certain emphasis on Salmon fisheries in the northeast pacific together with groundfish and shell fish fisheries in the northwest Atlantic region; these fisheries have tended to attract the most research attention, and also happen to be most familiar to this writer. However, there is also reference herein to a range of other (primarily marine) fisheries, such as the Gulf of Mexico inshore shrimp fishery and native fisheries on the Arctic Ocean. While many North Americans are actively involved in studying small-scale fisheries elsewhere in the world, such research will be excluded from this discussion. Furthermore, research oriented towards large-scale/industrial fisheries in North America will be included only insofar as it also relates to small-scale fisheries.
