Abstract

The Order prescribes the so-called "argaleios" fishing gear to be the only gear permitted for shellfish fishing in the gulfs of Kalloni and Geras, prefecture of Lesbos. This fishing gear is extensively described in article 1. The shellfish 'Venus Verrucosa' is the only specie to be harvested with this gear. Closed seasons for shellfish fishing are set in article 2. More specifically, shellfish fishing in these gulfs is permitted for the period between January 1st and March 15th annually. Specifically for the 'Venus Verrucosa' shellfish, the closed season shall be between July 1st and March 15th annually. Shellfish fishing in the aforementioned gulfs is prohibited though, by any fishing gear or other mean during the entire year, every third year after the coming into force of the present Order. Also, the Order prohibits fishing and vending of the 'Chlamys sp.' shellfish if its shell measures less than six (6) centimetres of width and 'Venus Verrucosa' if its shell measures less than four and half (4,5) centimetres of width. Fishing of shellfish with the "argaleios" fishing gear shall be totally prohibited after January the 1st, 2002.
