Statute overview

About this statute

Bottom trawl fishing may only be carried out in waters deeper than 100 meters. Regulates minimum mesh sizes for fishing nets, requires vessels to be dispatched or expressly authorized to fish with a single permitted mesh size, and prohibits carrying or using nets below the authorized minimum. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food may set maximum catch quotas and maximum effort limits, based on objective criteria and after a prior report from the Spanish Institute of Oceanography. When a trawler is fishing and a fixed-gear vessel is setting gear, they must keep at least half a mile apart. This article prohibits several fishing practices and also bans keeping on board, landing, or unloading the listed species.
