Abstract: This dissertation is ultimately concerned with how family-based fishing enterprises continue in the face of what seem to be overwhelming odds. It is based on a historical ethnography of the fishers -skippers, crews and their families who make the Bigouden region in France their home. While I am concerned with all Bigouden fishers, this analysis is primarily directed toward the skipper/boatowners and the manner through and by which this group of the 'productive' petty-bourgeoisie organize their enterprises in a struggle to survive in the face of a massive social transformation of commercial fishing in Europe. The research from which this dissertation draws was conducted during the periods of September to November, 1993, October 1994 to November 1995, and November, 1997.
