The fishing fleet from Torrevieja brought in 600 more tons of fish in the first semester of 2009 than they did in the same period 2008. However, because of the lowered prices at market, their income dropped by 50,000€.
From January to June of this year the boats brought in 1.623.863 kilos of fish – mainly melvas (a variety of tuna). Captures of sardines and boquerón (a small fish like whitebait) are down to about half of what they were last year.
