Purse seiners in Cantabrian and North-West Sea: update of definitive mackerel quotas for 2026

This resolution amends the one dated 6 February 2026 to update the mackerel quota (stock MAC/8C3411) allocation for the purse sein fishing method in the Cantabrian and North-West fishing grounds. The adjustment follows the setting of the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) by Regulation (EU) 2026/786, increasing the method's adapted quota to 4,837.451 tonnes. Additionally, the regulation corrects material errors identified in the annexes of the previous resolution.

In 3 key points

  1. The adapted quota for the purse sein method in the Cantabrian and North-West Sea amounts to 4,837.451 tonnes of mackerel (Background section) (art. Antecedentes)
  2. The mackerel TAC for 2026 is set at 299,010 tonnes according to Regulation (EU) 2026/786 (Background section) (art. Antecedentes)
  3. Amendment of annexes to correct material errors in the resolution of 6 February 2026 (First section) (art. Primero)

How it affects those involved

For shipowners and fishing companies using the purse sein method in the Cantabrian and North-West Sea, the regulation increases mackerel quota availability following the update to the European TAC (Background section). Vessels currently under provisional or permanent withdrawal have their fishing capacity redistributed among the rest of the census (Annex II). The resolution also corrects errors in previously communicated individual fishing opportunities.
