Abstract

One interesting aspect of Breton fisheries has been the development of an artisanal offshore fleet based on trawling. Artisanal refers to the independent, owner-on-board, single-vessel enterprise. This sector expanded after the World War II to reach a peak in the 1980s. In the early 1990s, a crisis which had been brewing since the previous decade, suddenly broke out violently, and deeply undermined that attractive model. In the face of the new challenges thrown up — mostly dwindling resources and appropriation of traditional markets/niches and also fishing grounds by capitalistic concerns — stakeholders must now review its functioning, if the artisanal model is to last.
