Materials y Methods: Descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional study. 134 fishermen participated to whom an individual survey was applied, with prior informed consent. The variables were analyzed and controlled in the program JMP version 15, with a significance level of less than
p<0.05 and a 95% confidence Interval. Results: The main demands that are pointed out are forced postures and repetitive movements. The most affected areas of the body: back, waist and hips (44%), upper limbs (40%) lower limbs (30%) and neck (17%). The results show the relationship between musculoskeletal disorders with work demands. Conclusions: The presence of pain in the lower back, shoulders and neck stands out. Therefore, it is necessary to implement ergonomic
