Fishing fleets: allocation of 7,523.98 tonnes of red porgy quota for the 2026 season

The General Secretariat for Fisheries has distributed the total red porgy quota assigned to Spain for 2026, amounting to 7,523.98 tonnes (First). The allocation is divided among six groups within the Specific Census of Authorised Vessels (CEPA) fleet and a 7.5-tonne reserve for recreational fishing (First). Additionally, accidental catches of this species are permitted up to 5% of total catches for certain small-scale vessels in the Canary Islands and coastal bonito vessels north of the 36°N parallel (First).

In 3 key points

  1. Total red porgy quota for Spain in 2026: 7,523.98 tonnes (First). (Primero)
  2. Permitted bycatch up to 5% of total catches by weight or number (First). (Primero)
  3. Entry into force on the day following its publication in the BOE (Third). (Tercero)

How it affects those involved

Small-scale vessels in the Canary Islands and those operating in the coastal bonito fishery north of the 36°N parallel may catch red porgy as bycatch, provided it does not exceed 5% of their total catches (First).
