Seiner owners of Portosin, A Coruna, expressed their rejection over the proposal for joint allocation of jack mackerel quota, El Correo Gallego reported.
The Seiner Owner Association of Galicia (ACERGA) proposed the quota should be distributed equally among the entire fleet of the region, however shipowners believe that larger vessels — with more than 12 crew members — must have a larger quota than small vessels carrying between four and seven crew members
