Summary

The object of this article is to analyse the processes of appropriation of marine environments in which productive fishing units from Almería (Spain) work. Emphasis is made of the need to know the intellectual and material means used (technology) and the direct and indirect social relationships implied in the appropriation in a given moment. Emphasis is also made on the spatial as well as temporary context of the process, which would explain the fishermen´s continuously changing transformation of material appropriation and mental representation of this means.
