El paisaje pesquero de Jerez de la Frontera a finales de la Edad Media: caladeros, flota, distribución y consumo

Abstract

espanolJerez de la Frontera no era una de las potencias pesqueras de la costa andaluza bajomedieval. Su relativa lejania de la costa atlantica, las disputas jurisdiccionales con los senorios de la zona, y la preponderancia de otros nucleos del entorno con mas tradicion marinera como El puerto de Santa Maria, limitaron el ejercicio de esta actividad por parte de los vecinos de esta localidad. a pesar de ello, contaba con un rico paisaje pesquero fluvial objeto de disputa por parte de los poderes locales por los reditos economicos que proporcionaban. Recursos fluviales insuficientes para abastecer a la poblacion y que explican las politicas de abasteci-miento y atraccion de pescadores foraneos por parte del concejo jerezano EnglishJerez de la Frontera was not one of the fishing powers of the late medieval andalusian coast. their relative distance from the atlantic coast, a whole series of jurisdictional disputes with the seigniories of the area, and the preponderance of other cores in the area with a more seafaring tradition, such as El puerto de Santa Maria, limited the exercise of this activity of the neighbors of this locality. In spite of this, it had a rich fluvial fishing landscape which was object of dispute on the part of the local powers for the economic benefits that they provi-ded. Fluvial resources that were insufficient to supply the second most important population of the kingdom of Seville.this fact explains the policies of supply and attraction of foreign fishermen by the council of Jerez
