Less than 1,000 tons of sardines caught but an additional 20 million euros were billed

The Secretary of State for Fisheries reported a decrease of 1,000 tons of sardines caught compared to last year, but an increase of 20 million euros in revenue. This reduction aims to ensure sustainable fishing in the future. New daily catch limits for sardines were implemented to address current capture levels and comply with campaign limits. Specific weight limits for sardine catches vary based on the size of the fishing vessels. The final vote on the 2027 State Budget is scheduled for November 24.
