Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the common fisheries policy aims at ensuring the sustainable exploitation of living and fishing resources. aquaculture in the context of sustainable development, taking into account in a balanced way the economic, environmental and social aspects.

In particular, Article 7 regulates the types of measures that may be implemented, including the setting of targets for the conservation and sustainable exploitation of stocks and related measures. necessary to minimise the impact of fishing on the marine environment, minimum reference sizes for conservation purposes, the regulation of the characteristics of fishing gears and the rules on their use, limitations or prohibitions on the use of certain fishing gear and on fishing activities, in certain areas or certain periods, as well as the obligation for fishing vessels to cease fishing in a given area for a minimum period of time.

Regulation (EC) No 850/98 of the Council of 30 March 1998 on the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms has governed the minimum of the mesh of the nets of gillnets in the Community waters and, among them, those of Region 5, in which the national fishing grounds of the Canary Islands are covered. It also provides that riparian Member States may legislate in the territorial scope of application of these measures by adopting complementary measures for the protection, conservation and management, provided that such measures are only applicable to the Member States. fishermen of the Member State concerned, compatible with Union law and in accordance with the Common Fisheries Policy.

Also, Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system to ensure compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy takes measures aimed at ensuring compliance with all the rules integrated into this policy and its observance on a global basis, in accordance with the principle of proportionality and in particular the specific definitions of each concept, art or (i) the general principles which would have to govern the implementation of the rules on persons and bodies in the geographical areas in which they are applied and the conditions for the granting and use of licences and authorisations granted for access to water and the exploitation of resources.

On the other hand, Law 3/2001 of 26 March on the Maritime Fisheries of the State establishes between its aims to ensure the balanced and responsible exploitation of the fishery resources and, in this way, establishes in Article 8 that the holder the Department may adopt measures to regulate the fishing effort, including the limitation of fishing activity time. Article 12 of this Law also provides that, in order to protect, conserve and recover the fishery resources, and after reporting by the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, the head of the Department may establish minimum funds, zones or periods of closure, where the exercise of fishing activities or the catch of certain species is limited or prohibited, as well as any other measures deemed necessary.

On the other hand, proper management of fisheries requires the adoption of certain technical measures. The aim of this order is to put an end to the existing regulatory dispersion by grouping together the various technical measures affecting the various fleet segments operating in the waters of the Canary Islands. Based on the principle of administrative simplification, it is appropriate to condense the precepts that include the different orders today in force with respect to the fisheries of the national fishing grounds of the Canary Islands.

In fact, the characteristics of the aforementioned Canary Islands are given by its small island platform (given its volcanic origin) and by presenting unproductive waters (oligotrophic), which leads to low productivity. demersal fishing and a high dependence on the tuna fishery. The fishing strategy for a rational and sustainable activity is therefore to diversify the activity as much as possible so as not to produce over-exploitation of certain resources, especially demersal species. Therefore, in the management of the Canary Islands, it is considered appropriate to allow the use of fishing systems.

The methods of fishing that are practiced with minor arts have great economic and social importance in the coast of the Canary Islands, affecting a high number of boats, the majority of small size, with a remarkable impact on the fishery resources of that fishing vessel. Likewise, the fishing of encirclement also has a notable economic and social importance in the archipelago, with a relevant impact on the pelagic resources of said fishing grounds. The special characteristics of the fishing for the fishing of the Canary Islands in relation to the rest of the national fishing grounds, as well as the necessary updating of the aforementioned regulations for these waters, make it advisable to adopt concrete measures to the in respect. Finally, in the fishing grounds of the Canary Islands, longline vessels are fishing, and it is necessary to collect provisions to regulate the fishing exercise with this art.

It should be noted that the species caught in the canary of the Canary Islands subject to minimum sizes, as well as those sizes, are listed in Annex III to Royal Decree 560/1995 of 7 April, establishing the the minimum sizes of certain fishing species.

Finally, it should be noted that the approval of this order implies a unification of the rules currently in force in a single instrument, which is carried out after the repeal of Royal Decree 2200/1986, of 19 of (a) September, by means of Royal Decree 1076/2015 of 27 November 2011, repealing Royal Decree 2200/1986 of 19 September 1986 on the regulation of the arts and methods of fishing in the waters of the Canary Islands, fishing in the waters of the canary fishing grounds, and amending Royal Decree 560/1995 of 7 April, for which the establish minimum sizes for certain fishing species, in relation to certain minimum sizes authorised for the Canary Islands 'fishing grounds (published in the' Official State Gazette ' of 28 November). The time elapsed since the promulgation of this standard makes it necessary to update and legal certainty advises to recast all the regulation of the mentioned fishing ground in a single instrument.

This rule is dictated by the exclusive jurisdiction over sea fishing held by the State under the 19th rule of Article 149.1 of the Spanish Constitution.

The procedure for communication to the European Commission provided for in Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 850/1998 of the Council of 30 March 1998 for the conservation of fishery resources has been carried out techniques for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms.

In the preparation of this order, the fishing sector and the autonomous community of the Canary Islands, as well as the Spanish Institute of Oceanography and the Spanish Data Protection Agency, have been consulted.

In its virtue, with the prior approval of the Minister of Finance and Public Administrations, according to the State Council, I have:

a) Sardinal or trainin: Ring net for the capture of small coastal pelagics such as mackerel, chicharro, sardine, boga and boqueron. The main body of the net is formed by long rectangular cloths and horizontally delimited in all its length by resistant strips of net, which are called "cadenets" of plumes and corks as they connect the body of the net with the relinga lower or higher respectively.

b) Air Chinjet or hammock: Ring net authorized to catch live or dead bait for fishing mainly of large and small tunidae, as well as small pelagics. It consists of a sack from the opening or the mouth of two long, more or less rectangular nets, which constitute their wings or sleeves, the ends of which end in wooden calons that attach them to traction cabs. All parts of the chinkjet are composed of a multitude of cloths.

c) Salemera: Ring network variant intended primarily for the capture of salemas (Sarpa salpa) and other species such as galana (Oblada melanura), boga (Boops Boops) or palometa (Trachinotus ovatus), subject to the surface by a relinga with buoys, being endowed with a jar to actuate the codend or sack in which the catch is joined, the walls of the art being vertical to the bottom.

6. Useful:

Vara de peto: Vara de wood at which end a large tip is installed in the form of a hook or short harpoon, being able to have one or several tips. The anzuelon is arranged facing the front and joins a line or line that allows the piece to be reclined upon impact of the rod, breaking the "false" that joins the line to the rod.
