The goal of this article is to analyze the effects of capitalist modernization on the fishing industry located in Brazil’s far south from a perspective of socioenvironmental oceanography. Socioenvironmental oceanography builds on the contributions of historical materialism that prioritizes the study of the material foundations that support the process of capitalist accumulation. Within this perspective, the object of analysis shifts to one that is centered around the production of (ethno)oceanographic spaces. We argue that the production of these spaces result in the creation of public policies, which are geared towards mobilizing material and non-material resources for an epistemic community. This community was promoted to being a center of calculation whose supposed goal was to find ways to improve the bioeconomic “sustainability” of fishery resources. This process destroys fishing resources, as well as traditional/artisanal fishing systems and territories. In addition, it sets the stage for material and non-material precedents based around the spatial planning of marine areas that goes back to the foundations of the blue economy.

从社会环境海洋学的角度看巴西远南渔业资本主义现代化的面貌（1940 年代至 1990 年代）


本文的目的是从社会环境海洋学的角度分析资本主义现代化对巴西最南部渔业的影响。社会环境海洋学建立在历史唯物主义的贡献之上，优先研究支持资本主义积累过程的物质基础。在这一视角下，分析的对象转向以（民族）海洋空间的生产为中心的分析对象。我们认为，这些空间的产生导致了公共政策的制定，这些政策旨在为认知社区调动物质和非物质资源。该社区被提升为一个计算中心，其假定目标是寻找提高渔业资源生物经济“可持续性”的方法。这一过程破坏了渔业资源以及传统/手工捕鱼系统和​​领地。此外，它还为基于海洋区域空间规划的物质和非物质先例奠定了基础，这可以追溯到蓝色经济的基础。
