A study of North Atlantic fishers revealed that the morality of compliance in commercial fisheries differed greatly from that which could be observed in subsistence fisheries. While violations of government regulations were generally accepted in food fisheries, they were met with moral unease or informal sanctions in commercial fisheries. These findings are discussed in relation to the moral meanings of money and food, and subsequently accounted for in the light of a theory of two moral spheres of economic activity. These spheres constitute distinct frameworks for moral interpretation, and represent highly-different conditions for interference by the state.
