The line between what is artisanal and what is industrial can be quite blurry at times so it is best to look at it as a sliding scale and not just black and white. By comparing the size of the boats used with the amount of capital invested per man-on board it is easier to see these divisions (figure 1). Meaning that even a large wooden canoe, that is man powered and using handlines would qualify as artisanal due to the small technological investment. While a small ultra-light boat equipped with the latest global positioning systems, downriggers, and sonar could still qualify as industrial.
