The 'arraeces' and fishermen ordinances of the cities of Vera (Almería, 18th century) and Cartagena (Murcia, 16-17th centuries) and the royal ordinances of fishing by pairs of 'bous', 1786
Abstract
Three sets of ordinances are collected in this study, two of them of a local nature, approved by councilors and fishermen and confirmed in the Royal Council, regarding the Mediterranean enclaves of Vera and Cartagena, where the existing modern practice in coastal fishery and in the subsequent commercialization of fish is reflected. The third piece, already from the end of the 18th Century, was intended to prohibit and regulate, where allowed, the practice of trawling, here called fishing by pairs of oxen or bous, according to the experience of Sáñez Reguart.
