As was mentioned at that time, many species were not exploited. They were returned to the water or consumed locally, not shipped to urban markets because they didn’t fetch a good price or didn’t form part of local eating habits and cooks’ know-how.
Como se mencionaba en la época, muchas especies no se explotaban, eran devueltas al mar o consumidas localmente, sin enviarse a los mercados urbanos por no alcanzar buen precio o no estar instalados en los hábitos de consumo y saberes de las cocineras.
