The climatic conditions favor an excellent campaign of the bream in the Mar Menor (17/11/2017)

The Fishermen's Association of San Pedro del Pinatar has captured around 80 tons of seabream in the last two weeks thanks to "the streak", which each year occurs in the autumn and accounts for around 30% of annual income.

The mayor of San Pedro del Pinatar, Visitación Martínez, the senior employer of the Fishermen's Association of San Pedro del Pinatar, Jesús Antonio Gómez, and the councilor of Fisheries, Ramón Luis García, visited the facilities of the Lo Pagán fish market today .

"The streak", as the fishermen call it, fruit mainly of the drop in temperatures, has left since Monday, November 6, around 80 tons of sea bream in the pinatarenses fish market, the boss said.

Jesús Antonio Gómez explained that this year they are surpassing the forecasts of the previous season and pointed out that 95 percent of the catches are golden, although they also catch typical species of the lagoon such as red mullet or sole at this time.

The streak is around 30 percent of the year's income of the Brotherhood, which is an important economic respite for fishermen who work every day in the Mar Menor.

For its part, the mayor highlighted the importance of the fishing industry in the town, as the Fishermen's Association is responsible for managing the markets of Lo Pagán, dedicated to the catches in the Mar Menor, and the San Pedro del Pinatar, dedicated to the catches of the Mediterranean.

During the past year, 784 tonnes of fish landed in these two fish markets, worth 3.3 million euros.

In 2016, 63 vessels were registered in the Mar Menor, most of them dedicated to the minor arts, employing 114 workers, who use traditional fishing techniques and gear.
