has a landing volume four times higher than Caleta de Velez, but mainly due to the
landings of the bivalve Acanthocardia tuberculata a species that reaches a low sale
value. Next in importance are the ports of Fuengirola and Almeria with 11% of sales
of the artisanal fishing sector in the area, but while there is no sale of bivalves in
Almeria, in Fuengirola these species account for one-third of artisanal sales. There
are also important ports such as Algeciras (10%) and Marbella (9%) where the sale
of bivalves is small compared to other target species and those of Motril (10%),
Roquetas de Mar (9%), and Adra (7%) where there is no landing of bivalves
(Figs. 14.15 and 14.16). The ports of Malaga and La Linea de la Concepcion
contribute only 3% to the Alboran artisanal sales volume.
