La Asociación de Pescadores de Shetland ha advertido de que la falta de inversión en ciencia pesquera está provocando una reducción injusta de las cuotas y una pérdida económica para las islas.

Se ha ultimado el acuerdo anual de pesca entre el Reino Unido, Noruega y la Unión Europea: se confirman los niveles de cuota para seis poblaciones comerciales clave en 2025..

- Bacalao -20 %
- Platija +14,2 %
- Carbonero +7 %
- Merlán +46 %

“The quota cut for cod is due to a lack of understanding about the mixing of different genetic sub-stocks. The swing in herring quota is also disappointing. Despite it apparently being our best assessed fish stock and monitored for decades, it is a fishery beset by volatile scientific advice – even with continued investment from industry to supply scientists with good data.
“This is not the fault of fishermen, but it is they and their businesses which end up paying the price for scientific shortcomings.
“Fishing crews in Shetland appreciate that both UK and Scottish Government negotiators have worked hard in the national interest, but – until we see re-investment in fisheries science – these quota talks, and the livelihoods of our members, will continue to be hampered by uncertainties, unknowns and instability.”
El acuerdo pesquero anual entre el Reino Unido y la UE, aún por confirmar, establecerá las cuotas para varias otras especies comerciales importantes y dará a los pescadores una comprensión más completa de las perspectivas para el próximo año.
