In this chapter, we will focus in particular on the gendered dimensions of the fishing industry, spe-cifically the catching sector, by trying to answer, at least in part, the following questions: what are the representations of fishers, both inside and outside the professional community, that reproduce it as a predominantly male occupation? How do the social mechanisms of professional selection affect the structuring of fishing activities as predominantly male? What role do, for example, gender stere-otypes, family socialisation, economic and social gendered inequalities, and the current organisa-tional model play in the professional selection and reproduction of this profession?
