Abstract
Fishing has been traditionally one of the most important aspects in Spanish-Moroccan trade relationships. These relationships have been established in fishing cooperative agreements with evolving conditions. In the first agreements Spain clearly had a position of power, but over time the situation has become more complex because of the increase in demands requested by the kingdom of Morocco. For this reason, the achievement of new fisheries agreements might not be viable in the future.The main objective of this paper is to describe the history and the evolution of these fishing agreements. The paper emphasizes the continuous cutbacks in catches and the dramatic increase in the financial and commercial compensations.
