Abstract

This Order prohibits fishing with the "volkos" fish traps if the mess size measures less than twenty (20) millimetres (for cotton-made nets) and less than twenty-eight millimetres (for nets made by synthetic materials). In the case in which this gear is used for eel fishing, then the mess size may measure at least ten (10) millimetres. Fishing with this gear is permitted only for four (4) months a year, more specifically from November to February.
