Abstract

Artisanal fishing has a distinctive history in South Africa, shaped by the way in which race and class have woven an intricate net of social relations along the shores of the country. There are records of subsistence harvesting of marine resources by indigenous coastal inhabitants for many centuries, but it was in the 18th century that marine capture fisheries really began along the southern African coast.
