Faced with the possibility that the moorings of the fleet will be repeated, due to the economic consequences derived from the conflict in Ukraine, the secretary general of Cepesca Javier Garat has recalled that fishing diesel already accounts for more than 60% of the operating costs and its price remains high.

Boat builder US Watercraft is developing a new aquaculture support vessel for an oyster farmer in Chesapeake Bay, Virginia.
The vessel has been commissioned for Matheson Oyster Co, which grows oysters in baskets on an adjustable longline system in waters up to five feet deep.

There was so much in the fishing ground and so little control of its consumption that when the Spanish Administration wanted to give an account, the quota that corresponded to it for that year had already been consumed in triplicate.
