Abstract
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar el papel desempeñado por las
cofradías de mareantes en el desarrollo y la gestión de la pesca en el País
Vasco hasta principios del siglo XX. Gracias a un marco institucional particular,
los gremios vascos construyeron un modelo de gestión específico que permitió
la explotación exclusiva de los recursos pesqueros en la costa vasca. Una parte
importante del carácter de este régimen de explotación se deriva de las particularidades
de los recursos pesqueros y de los mercados de la pesca, pero
también está relacionado con un modelo histórico de organización y de relación
de la sociedad con la naturaleza. Finalmente, se presentan las consecuencias
sociales y económicas de la transformación de la base legal que indirectamente
sustentaba el aprovechamiento exclusivo en el último cuarto del siglo XIX.
This paper deals with the role played by the Maritime Guilds in the development and management of the fisheries conducted firom the Basque shore until the first half of the 20th century. It contends that thanks to a particular institutional framework Guilds were able to build up a management model based on the exclusive use of the fishing resources. The character of this regime of use stems from the behaviour of the fishing resources and from the characteristics of the fish markets in Spain before the 20th century, but it is also related to an historical model of organisation and relationship between society and nature. Finally, the social and economic consequences of the process of institutional change that eliminated the legal basis of the exclusiveness are analysed.
