Mediterranean bottom trawling fleet: red shrimp catch limits increased for 2026

The General Secretariat for Fisheries is amending the red shrimp catch limits for the ARA/GF1-7 stock for the Mediterranean bottom trawling fleet in 2026. This amendment follows a quota exchange with France (28 tonnes received) and the availability of 55 tonnes from the 4% reserve established under Order APA/280/2026. The adjustment aims to redistribute the total volume following the incorporation of these new availabilities into the current period.

In 3 key points

  1. Quota exchange with France of 28 tonnes of red shrimp from stock ARA/GF1-7 (texto fuente)
  2. Availability of 55 tonnes from the 4% reserve of the quota allocated to Spain (texto fuente)
  3. Deduction of 2025 consumption excesses from the allocations in this resolution (texto fuente)

How it affects those involved

For vessels in the Mediterranean bottom trawling fleet, the resolution results in an increase in individual red shrimp catch limits due to the redistribution of the 55 tonnes from the reserve and the 28 tonnes exchanged with France. However, vessels that exceeded their consumption limits in 2025 will see their current allocations reduced to compensate for such excesses, in accordance with the deduction mechanism for future allocations established in the resolution of 27 March 2026.
