Fishing fleets: North capelin quota allocation for the 2026 season

The General Secretariat for Fisheries has determined the allocation of the North capelin (WHB/1X14) quota for Spain in 2026. The total adjusted quota amounts to 35,202.469 tonnes, resulting from the initial quota of 33,049 tonnes (EU Regulation 2026/249), the 2025 interannual flexibility (3.47 t), and exchanges with other Member States (2,150 t). The allocation follows the criteria of Order APA/315/2020 to ensure transparency in stock management.
