This year’s anchovies is larger and therefore more expensive (2.27 euros/kilo). Most catches are made between Bizkaia and Cantabria, who has motivated that many fishermen have opted for the neighboring community to disembark, at the expense of the Bisjas.
In the middle of the Anchovies CoastThe Enterralzals have already conquered 2.9 million kilos (29 tons), slightly more than in 2024 and about one 36 % From the allocated reimbursement, according to data provided on Friday by the Vice Minister of Fisheries and Litoral Development of the Basque government, Leandro Azkue.
Azkue has participated in the actions of Antxua Eguna de Getaria (Gipuzkoa), in which he realized the march of the Verm- and Anchoviscampaigns this year. In comparison with 2024, there is one reject considerable Landing63 % less than last year, in ports of Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa. The reason, as explained by the VICE minister, “is that the catches have usually taken place on the border between Bizkaia and Cantabria, which has made a large part of the foreign fleet opted for the ports of Cantabria for their landing, at the expense of our ventilation.”
Azkue, however, has the price increase Sales, € 2.27/kilo, considerably higher than last year (€ 1.51/kilo). “This has his statement in the size Of the caught anchovy that is most appreciated by the semi -observed industry that can pay a higher price for it, “he added.
They hope to see from the Ministry of Food, Rural Development, Agriculture and Fisheries: “What is the behavior of the species and development of anchovy fishing during May to make a coastal balance during mid -June, the date on which we traditionally ended the spring coast of the anchovis of the Cantabrian.”
“Very bad coast of the disbalance”
In a faster tone, the Vice Councilor Fisheries and coastal development has described the Distribution campaign as “very bad”, caught with a total of 5.7 million kilos, although with “very irregular” behavior according to the method used (drag, fence and small art or hook).
“On the one hand, the catches of the towing and witch segments – with the base in the Vizcaíno port of Ondarroa – have been important, their fishing options are exhausted; hookThe smallest and smaller fleet, this year’s recordings are 537 649 kilos (14 % About the fishing options), and far from the 1.1 tons caught in 2024, “he specified.
In contrast to anchovies, De Verdel has appeared near the Basque coasts, as a result of which foreign ships have continued in the Biscay and Guipuzcoan fish markets. The catches that landed in Lonjas de Euskadi have risen at 9.2 million kilos, sold at an average price of 2.10 euros/kilo (The kilo was sold at 1.34 euros in 2024).
