Abstract

This Order amends Order No. 286-C/2014 on the Portuguese quota for mackerel (Scomber scombrus) within VIIIc, IX and X fishing zones. Amendments deal with the following issues: b) 65% shall be allocated to vessels authorized to operate trawls with mesh size 65-69 mm and/or 70 mm in ICES zone VIIIc under the Luso-Spanish Agreement, in accordance with the following Article; c) 16.5% is allocated to the local and coastal fleet licensed to operate in ICES zones IX and X and Division 34.1.1 defined by CECAF, as well as by vessels authorized to operate in ICES zone VIIIc under the Luso-Spanish Agreement not using trawls, to be used until 30 June of the last year; d) 6% shall be allocated to the local and coastal fleet licensed to operate only in ICES zones IX and X and Division 34.1.1 defined by CECAF, to be used from 1 July of each year. The annual catch of mackerel of vessels licensed under the Luso-Spanish Agreement is limited to 126 tonnes per vessel, which corresponds to the average of their catch in the years 2012 to 2015. The available quota of mackerel shall be equally distributed by vessels whose owners or shipowners communicate to the Directorate-General for Natural Resources, Safety and Maritime Services (DGRM), until 10 of December of the previous year, the intention to operate in that zone for mackerel fishing.
