Abstract

This paper is a study of the British trawl fishery during the 1850-1939 period in the literature and focuses on the relationship between business organisation and economic performance. Examining the degree of connection between the different components of the fish trade, it is argued that the industry developed a unique organisational structure marked by a shift towards the integration of vessel owning, processing
and wholesaling down to 1890, when the partial disaggregation of cognate interests emerged as the main trend. [Excerpt taken from editors' Introduction].
