The Ministry of the General Secretariat for Fisheries in Spain has decided to close the northern white tuna fishery for a day due to reaching the consumption quota of 17,397 tons. The fishery, which is located in the Cantabrian and Northwest waters, has seen increased value in albacore tuna, with sales estimated to be around 63 million euros. The decision affects both professional and recreational fishing, and there has been ongoing control and inspection of the French and Irish pelagic trawl fleet.
