This article presents a historical-critical analysis of an 80-year period focused on the discourse regarding the regulation of the abalone fisheries in Mexico; its objective is to describe this commercial activity and to analyze it in a broad context. A review of specialized bibliography and legal-regulatory instruments was carried out for this purpose, as well as critical analysis of discourse and conceptual history. The evident separation of the political discourse in two periods stands out among the results obtained, as well as the identification of the transformations and legitimization of a discourse that displaces the sector in this period. One of the limitations of the research was the lack of empirical data from the main actors, that is, the fishermen. The originality of the study is centered on the fact that there was no research to that date on the critical analysis of the abalone fisheries’ discourse, despite the fact of them being important fisheries in Mexico, socioeconomically and environmentally. Lastly, as a finding, it can be affirmed that, in the historical conceptualization, the corpus can be divided into two periods, and gradual transformations and the legitimation of the discourse were identified.

Keywords : Historical public policies; Abalone fishery; Critical discourse analysis; Conceptual history.
