The emergence of aquaculture firms in the Province of Pampanga in the Philippines, and their economic importance are related to the process of the shrimp production development. During this process of emergence, the specificities of these firms appeared, as far as their technical management and socioeconomic organization are concerned. Indeed, these firms are far from being only characterized by their economic importance, and have an important position in the social and political dynamics. Through the case of aquaculture firms in the Pampanga province, the aim of this contribution is to analyze the entrepreneurship action in an empirical and interactive viewpoint. The entrepreneurship fits into a social structure and has therefore to cope with the various norms, actors and institutions. Although these firms are integrated into the mechanisms of the national and international market, the latter is not the only regulator of the nature of these firms. This paper aims at illustrating how the importance of the social bonds and the structure of the social networks built by the entrepreneurs is interfering with their access to the production factors but also to their integration in the aquaculture sector and in the local politics. The empirical study of aquaculture firms illustrates the social embeddedness of the entrepreneurship actions.
