The bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) fishing season in the Canary Islands has experienced a radical turnaround during the first half of 2026, managing to reverse the negative results of previous campaigns.

According to official data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Sovereignty of the Government of the Canary Islands, the artisanal fleet of the archipelago captured a total of 440 tons until 24:00 hours on May 31, the date on which the first regulatory phase established by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) concluded.

This figure represents 77.5% of the annual quota assigned for the current fiscal year, initially set at 538 tons and expanded to 568 tons following a transfer of 30 tons from the community level. Industry sources are contemplating the possibility of a new complementary transfer that would raise the final limit to 600 tons. The remaining volume available for the second period of the campaign, which runs from June 1 to December 31, stands at 128 tons.

 

Current records contrast significantly with the consolidated data for the year 2025, classified by the fishing sector as a loss-making and anomalous year due to changes in the migration routes of tuna schools. During the whole of the previous year, catches barely reached 123 tons, which meant the consumption of a meager 22% of the authorized fishing rights. Thus, the current remnant for the remainder of 2026 exceeds the total caught in the whole of the preceding season.

By fishing modalities, the 250 vessels that make up the fleet with exploitation rights divided the downloaded volume in a balanced manner. The minor arts segment recorded the discharge of 230 tons, while the baitboat tuna fleet registered a total of 210 tons.

In economic terms, the estimated value of production in first transaction reached a global total of 3.1 million euros during the reference period. This amount is broken down into 1.6 million euros for the minor arts sector and 1.5 million euros for baitboats. The weighted average price stood at 7 euros per kilo at origin. However, representatives of local guilds recall that this gross value does not equate to the final net profit of the producer, which is conditioned by logistics costs and marketing commissions derived from shipping approximately 95% of the product to the markets of the Iberian Peninsula.

 

It should be noted that for the 2026 campaign, the central administration modified the access criteria allowing the simultaneous activity of the entire authorized fleet since the start of the season on January 20, a measure designed to optimize the utilization of the quota and avoid underutilization scenarios like those reported in previous years.

カナリア諸島の本マグロ漁期が大幅な進展を記録、5月までに枠の77.5%を消化

サンタ・クルス・デ・テネリフェ。 カナリア諸島における本マグロ(Thunnus thynnus)の漁期は、2026年の上半期に劇的な転換を迎え、前回の漁期の不調を覆すことに成功した。カナリア諸島政府の農業・牧畜・水産・食糧主権省の公式データによると、群島の沿岸小規模漁船団は、農業水産食糧省(MAPA)が設定した第1段階の規制期間が終了する5月31日24:00までに、計440トンを水揚げした。

この数値は、今年度に割り当てられた年間漁獲枠の77.5%に相当する。当初は538トンに設定されていたが、欧州連合(EU)加盟国間での枠の移転により30トンが追加され、568トンへと拡大された。業界関係者は、最終的な上限を600トンに引き上げる新たな追加移転の可能性も視野に入れている。6月1日から12月31日までの漁期第2期に残された利用可能な漁獲量は128トンとなっている。

現在の実績は、マグロの群れの回遊ルートの変化により、水産業界にとって極めて不調かつ異例の年とされた2025年の確定データとは大きく対照的である。前年は年間を通じて漁獲量がわずか123トンにとどまり、許可された漁獲権利のわずか22%しか消費されなかった。そのため、2026年の残りの期間における現在の留保量は、前シーズン全体の総漁獲量を上回っている。

漁業形態別では、操業権を持つ250隻で構成される漁船団が、水揚げ量をバランスよく分け合った。小規模沿岸漁業部門が230トンの水揚げを記録し、一本釣りマグロ漁船団は計210トンを記録した。

経済的側面では、対象期間中の一次取引における推定生産金額は、全体で310万ユーロに達した。この内訳は、小規模沿岸漁業部門が160万ユーロ、一本釣り漁船が150万ユーロとなっている。産地での加重平均価格は1キロあたり7ユーロであった。しかし、地元の漁協関係者は、この総額が生産者の最終的な純利益とは一致しないと指摘している。これは、製品の約95%イベリア半島の市場へ出荷されることに伴う、物流コストや流通手数料の影響を受けるためである。

特筆すべき点として、2026年の漁期に向けて中央政府はアクセス基準を修正し、1月20日のシーズン開始からすべての許可漁船が同時に操業できるようにした。これは漁獲枠の活用を最適化し、前年までに報告されたような過小利用の事態を回避するために設計された措置である。

加那利群岛蓝鳍金枪鱼捕捞季取得显著进展,截至5月已完成配额的77.5%

圣克鲁斯-德特内里费。 加那利群岛的蓝鳍金枪鱼(Thunnus thynnus)捕捞季在2026年上半年迎来了根本性的转机,成功扭转了此前几季的低迷状态。根据加那利群岛政府农业、畜牧、水产与粮食主权部的官方数据,截至5月31日24:00(即农业、水产与食品部(MAPA)设定的第一阶段监管期结束之日),该群岛的手工捕捞船队共计捕捞了440吨蓝鳍金枪鱼。

这一数字占当前财政年度分配的年度配额的77.5%。该配额最初设定为538吨,在从欧盟层面转移了30吨之后扩大至568吨。行业人士正在考虑进一步追加转移的可能性,从而将最终限制提高至600吨。在6月1日至12月31日的第二阶段捕捞期内,可用的剩余捕捞量为128吨

目前的记录与2025年的综合数据形成了鲜明对比。由于金枪鱼群洄游路线的改变,上一年被捕捞业列为亏损和异常的一年。在去年一整年中,捕捞量仅达到123吨,这意味着仅消耗了微不足道的22%的授权捕捞权。因此,2026年余下时间的当前剩余量已经超过了上一季全年的总捕捞量。

按捕捞方式划分,由拥有开发权的250艘渔船组成的船队比较均衡地分配了预定捕捞量。其中,小型手工业捕捞板块记录了230吨的卸货量,而竿钓金枪鱼船队则记录了210吨的总量。

在经济方面,参考期间第一笔交易的估计生产价值达到了310万欧元的总额。该金额细分为小型手工业捕捞板块的160万欧元和竿钓渔船的150万欧元。产地的加权平均价格为每公斤7欧元。然而,当地行业协会的代表提醒称,这一总产值并不等同于生产者的最终净利润,因为大约95%的产品运往伊比利半岛市场,从而产生了物流成本和商业化佣金,这直接制约了最终收益。

值得注意的是,针对2026年的捕捞季,中央政府修改了准入标准,允许整个获授权的船队自1月20日赛季开始时即可同时开展捕捞活动。此举旨在优化配额利用率,避免出现前几年报告的利用不足的情况。
