Bulgaria's quota for turbot fishing in the Black Sea has been increased by 10%  - 1

Prez for the next four years, Bulgaria will be able to catch turbot in the amount of 82.5 tons, which is 10% more than the previously allowed amount. The same quota has been set for Romania, and until now the two countries had an authorized catch of 75 tons per year.

This was announced by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

This was made clear during the 47th annual meeting of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCMC) in Rome. The achieved increase is the second in a row for the last five years and is in response to the long-term implementation of measures to protect the species. The aim is to create an incentive for operators in the fisheries sector to continue their efforts to achieve a level of fishing consistent with maximum sustainable yield.

During the meeting, regarding the Black Sea, decisions were made to continue the current measures for the sprat and the Black Sea spiny shark. The measures to protect the rapan stock will also continue to be applied, as well as the introduction of a total ban on sturgeon fishing.

The turbot is an extremely tasty, but also useful fish.

As is well known, fish is a very valuable food for health, which has a number of useful substances. Thyme is rich in minerals such as calcium, potassium, sodium, selenium, magnesium and phosphorus.

Of the vitamins, the percentage of vitamin A, B12 and B5 is the highest. Omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish have a beneficial effect on the processes in the human body. Omega-3 are particularly valuable for the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system.
