The ban is to ensure the sustainability of the fishery.


Citizens are encouraged not to illegally extract this resource and to refraining from buying hake during September.

However, many traders are careful to stock up before the start of the ban, and then maintain a frozen stock.

Please contact Sernapesca in the case of any suspicion or complaint.
