Rapana conservation measures and the ban on sturgeon fishing remain in place, the General Fisheries Commission has decided
In the next four years, Bulgaria will be able to carry out an annual catch of the shield in the amount of 82.5 tons, which is 10% more than the previously permitted amount. The same quota has been determined for Romania as well, as the two countries had an authorized catch of 75 tons per year, the Ministry of Health announced.
This became clear during the 47th annual meeting of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCMC) in Rome. The achieved increase is the second in a row for the last five years and is in response to the long-term implementation of measures to protect the species. The aim is to create an incentive for operators in the fisheries sector to continue their efforts to achieve a level of fishing consistent with the maximum sustainable yield.
Decisions have been taken to continue the current measures for the sprat and the Black Sea spiny shark. Measures to protect the rapan stock will also continue to apply, as well as the introduction of a total ban on sturgeon fishing.
Future actions aimed at sustainable investment in aquaculture, increasing the effectiveness of control, decarbonization and climate change are also discussed.
