| Summary: | The establishment of a policy of marine resources management by Individual Transferable Quotas (ITQs) in Iceland 1990 had multiple consequences and profound implications in fishing activities and in the representations that fishermen have of their work environment and their profession. In this article, we will focus our attention on artisanal fishing from small boats, which has played a very important role in the revival or maintenance of fishing activity in regions closely dependent on the fisheries production sector.
