Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed examination of the foreign fishery trade and local fisheries of Porto Rico around the turn of the century, the time of the Spanish-American War. The author presents information gathered from custom house records and interviews with importers, fishermen, and other knowledgeable sources. The book explores the types and value of imported seafood, revealing that a substantial amount of the island's fish consumption came from imports. The author also highlights the humble scale and traditional methods of local fisheries, noting the use of small boats, simple gear, and the absence of commercial-scale operations. The book delves into the challenges faced by the local fishing industry, including the lack of refrigeration and the prevalence of spoilage, as well as the government regulations and taxation that impacted the livelihoods of fishermen. The insights provided in this volume contribute to our understanding of the historical context and economic conditions surrounding the fishing industry in Porto Rico during a pivotal period of change and transition.
