LEON BALDERRAMA, Jorge I.; GUTIERREZ LOPEZ, Lydia V.  y  CARRAZCO ESCALANTE, J. Crisóforo. Comparative Analysis of Networks of Knowledge Flow and Technological Information in Two Leading Shrimp-Farming Regions in Mexico. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.2, pp.9-32. ISSN 0121-6805.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rfce.3953.

The purpose of this study is to "reconstruct" and compare the networks of knowledge flow and technological information (NKFTI) in the aquaculture industry, specifically in shrimp farming in two of the main regions producing farmed-shrimp in Mexico: The municipality of Ahome, located to the north of Sinaloa, and the coastal south-center region of Sonora. Research is based on the approach to the analysis of social networks and information gathered by conducting a survey with a sample of 91 companies dedicated to shrimp farming in the regions mentioned above. The study findings show that the features and settings of the NKFTI of Sinaloa aquaculture have allowed this region to gain a competitive advantage over Sonora, to mitigate the effects of the crisis in recent years.

Palabras clave : Aquaculture; social network analysis, company-supplier networks of knowledge.
