Statute overview

About this statute

Bottom trawl fishing may only be carried out in depths over 50 meters. The minimum mesh size is 40 millimeters, and nets with smaller mesh are prohibited onboard and for use. En la pesca de arrastre de fondo, puede autorizarse la captura accesoria de hasta el 10% en peso de sardina, anchoa y otras especies de pequeños pelágicos. This provision prohibits several types of fishing gear and methods, including pelagic trawls, tangones, devices that reduce mesh size, bottom trawling together with another fishing mode, pair fishing with more than one vessel, and certain “tren de bolos” gear. Breaches of this Royal Decree are to be sanctioned under Law 14/1998 and its implementing rules.
