Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this research is to analyze the viability of the emergence of a fishing and aquaculture cluster in the state of Michoacán, with the aim of becoming a tool that promotes the regional Competitiveness of the territory. To determine the feasibility of the formation of an agglomeration of companies, in this work the methodology proposed by (Fregoso in Factores determinantes en las asociaciones para formar clústers industriales como estrategia de desarrollo regional. Tesis Doctoral, Instituto Politécnico Nacional, México, 2012) is used, where the use of coefficients is considered to determine mathematically if the emergence of a cluster in the region. To apply the coefficients, we start from the proximity theory and the number of companies in the sector and in the industry, the number of workers in the sector and in the industry and the employed population in the industry are used as essential factors for the calculation. The information is collected from the INEGI Economic Census INEGI (Recuperado el 10 de 09 de 2020, de, 2019) and, by substituting the data in the coefficient formulas, it is concluded that, given the state's agricultural and specifically fishing vocation, the emergence of a fishing cluster that promotes the Regional Competitiveness is a feasible possibility in the Infiernillo, Costa, Tierra Caliente, Pátzcuaro, Cuitzeo and Lerma—Chapala regions of Michoacán.
