Abstract

This work is part of a wider research project that’s aimed to analyze: 1) the impact that the generated and transferred knowledge towards the aquaculture sector has on the regional and local development; and 2) in which degree the interactive processes and the construction of networks have given place to the formation of a social capital based on knowledge for the aquaculture sector in the northwest of Mexico. The theoretical-conceptual approach of this research incorporates several ideas derived from four analytical frames: a) That of networks of knowledge; b) the approach of the social capital, c) that of the regional innovation systems and, d) related aspects to the idea of societies based on knowledge. By means of a methodological strategy based on cases of study, there are analyzed specific processes of generation and transference of scientific and technological knowledge in the aquaculture sector, when these are a result of interactions between diverse actors to regional and local level. Specially, there are identified the interactions that are a result of the collaboration between academic institutions that realize research (centers, institutes and institutions of higher education) and, between these academic institutions with other sectors of the society (government, productive social and private units).
