Abstract

Local fish markets play a crucial role in meeting local and regional demand for seafood. However, the underlying social and local processes determining price formation in these markets still need to be clarified. Through ethnographic research of an artisanal fishing community in central Chile focused on the common hake catching (Merluccius gayi gayi), we found that mutual observation and negotiation are the two key social processes of the local economic order. These processes produce two local structures: (a) the fishers’ maritime cliques in the sea and (b) the chain structure in the cove, which combines commercial and community relationships to determine market prices.

智利手工捕鱼社区价格形成的社会网络机制

地方水产品市场在满足地方和区域海产品需求方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，决定这些市场价格形成的基本社会和地方过程仍有待澄清。通过对智利中部一个手工捕鱼社区的人种学研究，我们发现，相互观察和协商是当地经济秩序的两个关键社会过程。这些过程产生了两种地方结构：(a) 海上的渔民小集团，(b) 海湾中的连锁结构，这种结构将商业关系和社区关系结合在一起，以决定市场价格。

期刊介绍： Maritime Studies is an international peer-reviewed journal on the social dimensions of coastal and marine issues throughout the world. The journal is a venue for theoretical and empirical research relevant to a wide range of academic social science disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, geography, history and political science. Space is especially given to develop academic concepts and debate. We invite original research papers, reviews and viewpoints and welcome proposals for special issues that make a distinctive contribution to contemporary discussion around maritime and coastal use, development and governance. The journal provides a rigorous but constructive review process and rapid publication, and is accessible to new researchers, including postgraduate students and early career academics.
