The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has allocated an additional 13 days of fishing per vessel for the Mediterranean trawling fleet until the end of the year, thereby ensuring their activity for the Christmas sales campaign, which is key for their income.
This was announced by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, in statements to the press before the Jacumar awards ceremony.
With this measure, the 557 vessels in the Mediterranean that make up the trawling fleet will have a total of 7,339 annual working days, which equates to approximately 143 annual workdays, due to the 79% decrease in the days the Spanish fleet could fish in the western Mediterranean in 2025 compared to 2024.
