Mediterranean bottom trawlers: publication of the final list of fishing days allocated for 2026

The General Secretariat of Fisheries has published the final list of fishing days allocated per vessel and vessel group for bottom trawling in the Mediterranean for the 2026 period. This resolution implements the fishing effort management regime established by Regulation (EU) 2019/1022 and Order APA/423/2020. The list incorporates allocations following the application of voluntary measures and the management of the 7% reserve of total days (Order APA/312/2025).

In 2 key points

  1. A 7% reserve of the total days allocated to Spain to cover reactivations or new constructions (Order APA/312/2025). (Orden APA/312/2025)
  2. Redistribution of surplus days from 1 July according to a proportion of 30% for entities and 70% for vessels (Order APA/312/2025). (Orden APA/312/2025)

How it affects those involved

For shipowners and bottom trawlers in the Mediterranean, this resolution determines the exact number of fishing days permitted for 2026, thereby conditioning their operational activity. Associative entities operating under a joint management model may receive a redistribution of surplus days starting from 1 July each year, following a proportion of 30% based on the number of entities and 70% based on the number of vessels (Order APA/312/2025).
