Fishing activity produces identification and knowledge of the trade in a given context. In this article two case studies are presented: 1) Women workers in the process of transformation of oysters; 2) Fish unloading operators, in another fishing company. Both situations are analyzed from the model centered on the person in activity, which were carried out through the ergonomic intervention scheme, presenting the following stages of the intervention: analysis of the demand; pre-diagnosis; and proposal of the intervention. The activities studied show the inequities linked to the determinants of the activity, such as the organization of work, payment through production bonuses, temporary work. Both companies, in the territory, generate the development of knowledge and skills that are transmitted in generations. they represent the only stable source of income for people, but leading them to make a commitment to their health.

Keywords : analysis of activity; territory; ergonomic intervention; gender; seafood products.
