Peace Corps Volunteer Pete Wadsworth ran a fish packing plant in San Antonio where he froze and packed fish he bought from the artisan fisherman cooperative that he helped establish and began advising local fishermen in the port of San Antonio in 1967. In April 1974 Wadsworth moved back to San Antonio to help run the artisan fisherman cooperative. In 1976 Wadsworth started exporting fish and built a small freezing plant. In 1982 Wadsworth and his Chilean partners devised a new way to catch swordfish that increased the total annual catch from 140 tons in 1978 to 6500 tons in 1992.
