Mexico needs to reverse its decapitalization, and to do this, the government must develop strategies for generating and saving foreign currency. It should not insist on policies that exacerbate the balance of payments problem, nor invent economic activities the states do not have capacity for, but rather build institutional capacities within the various sectors of states' economies, such as those linked to the exploitation of its natural resource base, until they can be scaled up to industrial production. Furthermore, that escalation must be a process which corrects gaps and flaws in order to nurture the primacy of an exportable primary good. Aquaculture is one of the most promising activities and one of the main sources of rural employment and foreign currency in other parts of the developing world. Therefore, Mexico, with its extensive coastline, must reward any initiative that allows mastering aquaculture technology for subsequent commercial development.

Keywords : natural resource industrialization; institutional building; mastering aquaculture technology; industrial development.
