Angle fishing suspended in the Basque Country
The decision was based on two reports and a resolution by the Ombudsman following the fishing of 198,44 kilograms of angles in the Basque Country during the previous campaign.
The fishing of the angle planned for the 2025-2026 campaign in the Basque Country has been suspended following reports explaining the critical situation of the species .
The Official Gazette of the Basque Country has published the resolution of the Director of Fisheries and Aquaculture of the Basque Government, Ixone Soroa, against which an appeal may be lodged during the month of November.
The Department of Food, Rural Development, Agriculture and Fisheries announced this decision at thebeginning of the month due to the "critical" state of the eel , since this species is "outside the safe biological limits" in the Basque Country.
The decision was based on two reports and a resolution by the Ombudsman following the fishing of 198,44 kilograms of angles in the Basque Country during the previous campaign.
In particular, the final assessment report of the Angula Management Plan submitted by the central government to the European Commission last spring states that the targets for the flight and recruitment of species are still far from those laid down in the 2007 European Council Regulation on Eel.
In this regard, the number of eels in the rivers of the CSC accounts for only 7% of those in the 1960s and 1970s of the previous century.
In addition to the suspension of the campaign, the resolution of the Director of Fisheries has created a working forum to update the 2010 Angula Management Plan, in which the deputies of Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia will participate, as well as scientists from AZTI and UPV, the Basque Angularis Association and a representative of environmental organizations.
This working table will be responsible for drawing up new measures to improve the state of conservation of this species and for the recovery of fishing grounds following the suspension of this next campaign.
