AGAINST ALL ODDS
View of the port of Peñiscola.
Sunday morning : Fishermen monitor their networks are in good condition.
They examined several meters and fixed networks.
Monday 5:30: Start the day at work. First are prepared boat, diesel, nets, food, ice ... Before heading out to sea.
6:30 am: trasmallo fishermen to go out to resume their networks.
The sun starts to come out but he does time they work.
At work, the collection networks.
Result: only three tuna meters and meters of networks.

Cleaning networks already in the Port.
A preparation of fishing for its subsequent sale by auction.
The day was not good.
Antonio prepares the resulting fishing all day working trasmayo a boat.
"Today we will not get there either for the day."
An owner of a fishing boat dragging Peñiscola.
It checks the amount of catch of the day as it is not released to navigate.
Workers classify the product for sale.
All auction participants prepare the fish for sale.
They have to hurry if they want to happen because at 4:30 time it closes and they end just arrived from the sea.
Around this act many people gather and the port is in full activity.
End of the day: women selling fishermen fishing in the port of Peñiscola.
Port of Peñiscola.
I found two types of fishing boats in the port of Peñiscola. The largest are the "boats lag", which her large networks crawl through the bottom of the sea. They are the first that look like the sea and the last to return. They get a lot more amount of fish than the other type of boat called "trammel". This is a small fishing boat. The fisherman expands network in a specific place of the sea and leaves until the following day. They recognize its networks with a radar tracking system. The work is long and it still does not seem excessively profitable. It always depends on the fate and it is not always good.
The price of fish has decreased compared to past years. Now its economic value is equal to that one of there 20 years, stems from the existence of great import fish from abroad. Its current price is cheaper than in 1975.
This caused reductions of different types in the fisheries sector. The first and most important: a serious reduction in monthly revenue. This includes other directly as staff reductions.
Fishing depends on many factors, including great importance because it is the weather forecast. It is impossible to control the sea. It always involves the same effort for a good or bad result. By that I think we need more protection to the corporation.
Against all odds
