One study that I specifically recall studied northeastern Massachusetts (particularly the seaboard communities), where independent fisherman make up a huge segment of the local economy. If I recall correctly, there's an entrepreneurship center at one of the local colleges (Salem State, perhaps?) that was the force behind the study. If you're interested, I'm sure I've got a copy and would be happy to forward it along for your reading pleasure... it really has some interesting findings.
