Summary: | Since 1993 a significant increase in the skate catches from the Spanish trawlers have been reported (Duran et al. 1996; Junquera et al. 1997). It was interpreted as a shift in the fishing strategy towards the exploitation of non-regulated species.

In this paper a review of the available information on this subject is presented. |
