We analyzed the impact that the advent of the salmon aquaculture industry had on income distribution in coastal communities. Specifically, we evaluated whether salmon farms generated significant changes on household income distribution in the remote coastal areas of the Los Lagos region in Chile between 1992 and 2002.

The impact on income distribution in the area should depend on which type of households were favored with this increased labor demand: low-income or high-income households.
