Abstract
Desde las iniciativas pioneras en la ostricultura y el desarrollo del cultivo de mejillón en viveros flotantes en las costas mediterráneas en las primeras décadas del siglo XX, la acuicultura española creció intensamente a partir de los 1950 con el cultivo del mejillón en Galicia, luego la trucha, y finalmente la piscicultura marina de rodaballos, doradas y lubinas.
This article studies Spanish maritime fishing in a key period, named third phase of expansion by Paz Andrade, when Spain started to exploit Atlantic fishing grounds in the South hemisphere under new freezing technologies. This paper analyzes the evolution of main data (fishing fleet, unloading, and prices), the origins of fishing expansion, the role played by different social agents: state and fishing firms. This research finishes in the early seventies when international fishing law fixed the extension of two hundred miles and other problems such as the increase of production cost and the benefits decline limited the Spanish fishing growth.
