Fishing
Fishing in the Region of Murcia has been a secondary activity. Captures were
sold in their totality in the region, but we also import some resources. Our
fishing fleet is mainly handmade .The main fishing ports are those of Cartagena
and Aguilas. Aquiculture is clearly the extension.
Inshore Craft
Fhising of high altitude
-Long distance
-several months
Deep-sea fishing
Coastal fishing
-average distance

Takes place in
small boats near
the shore. The
boats are small
and carry nets
together with
powerful fishing
lines. Their
catches are
becoming more
and more
scarce due to
the depletion of
the seabed.
Agriculture
In the Region of Murcia agriculture has an average weight in the GDP. This is one of the
most profitable agriculture in Spain and Europe. This is due to a very important productivity,
well- above the national average. In fact, we face an export-oriented agriculture.

Livestock farming
Murcia Livestock farming has always been modest. Ranching virtually
disappeared. At present livestock is exploited in intensive regime, and
is located near the markets.
The main products that are obtained are:
MILK

MINING
Nowadays the mineral wealth of the Murcia region is small, it is widely scattered
and it is very difficult to farm. There are lead, zinc, iron, pyrite, silver and gold, but
the current Mines have very little activity. There are no Metallic Mineral Deposits
although the village of La Union used to focus its economy on mining activities.
The lead
The limestone quarries
is extracted in La Union,
together with iron with very
little money.
Most of the iron is extracted in
Caravaca de la Cruz (Murcia).

few in number and are
located near mountain

Livestock farming
- The atmosphere has been decisive
in the development of livestock in
Spain, because weather often
prevented to find pasture.
-Spain has experienced an
important change, after having
increased selling places.
-Mostly of Spanish farms are now
mechanized and have modern
computers and sophisticated
slaughterhouses.
Livestock farming has key economic
importance, as it constitutes
approximately 42% of the value of
agricultural production.

Fishing
Fishing is a great tradition of economic activity in Spain which has been
losing weight throughout the economy. Spain is at the forefront of the EU fleet
in tonnage, in volume and value of fish landed, number of fishermen and
aquaculture production.
Inshore fishing
It is reduced to
near the coast. It
comes out to fish
every day and
return at night.

Offshore fishing
It is engaged for months and
reaches all corners of the Earth.
These are big companies that fish
and frozen fish at sea to ensure
their preservation. They use craft
techniques.

Mining
Minerals are being exploited from the Age of Metal until now. The copper, iron,
aluminium, gold, silver ... are rarely found in nature so pure and always stand
united with other elements. The origin of the minerals is very varied. The vast
majority of them has to do with the fluids that exist in magmas is in the earth's
crust. The most important mineral resources are:
CEMENT
IRON
