Exploring a framework for the characterization of biofirms in Baja California´s aqua-culture sector
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the context of the economy of knowledge, scientific advances generated from biology and molecular genetics have contributed to the emergence of the sector of biotechnology. Knowing the intensity of this sector implies a methodological challenge due to the lack of common criteria in its characterization and intensity measure. The aim of this research proposal is to establish common elements found internationally and nationally to build a framework. Once identified, we focused our attention on the aquaculture sector of Baja California and using these criteria, we establish a characterization of the sector according to the classification of the firm as a user or developer of biotechnology, human resources, its link to public and private actors, and innovation. In addition, the sector’s intensity is established in terms of firm growth. Evidence reveals that the characteristics of Baja California’s aquaculture firms respond to the conceptual approach and the global dynamics of the biotechnology sector.
