Una veda “total y permanente” the oricio in the Asturian coast. This is the measure “radical” que prevé implantar de manera inmediata la Dirección General de Pesca Marítima del Principado, “hasta que se aprecie una recuperación de la biomasa y de la estructura poblacional de los bancos que posibiliten una explotación sostenible en el tiempo” de esta especie. Las restricciones se extenderán también a la ortiguilla, una vez detectado por la autoridades autonómicas un incremento de las extracciones de esta anémona de Mar que, de no ser controlada, “podría comprometer su sostenibilidad en el tiempo”. In this case, a daily maximum of twenty kilos per mariscador quota, minimal piece weight of 15 grams and closed April 1 to May 31 is established.

The Directorate General of Maritime Fisheries and established a first ban around oricios of eight months between April and December 2013, in view of a population decrease that did not hold back with this measure. Quite the contrary, the Principality believes that the status of the species in the region is “mala”, with “un importante descenso de la biomasa explotable” and the “desaparición de los bancos más importantes”. In this scenario, and considering what “aconsejan los estudios científicos”The Administration adopts “la medida más radical posible” and suspends indefinitely catches, which will affect both professionals as recreational shellfish.

The closure of Oricio and restrictions on catches of the Sea Ortiguilla contained in a draft resolution that the Ministry of Rural Development and Natural Resources has already been sent to the affected sectors.,es

The sea urchin sea are gastronomic delicacies that combine especially well with the cider, but scarce for some time in the fish markets of the region, because catches have been reduced to less than half during the past year. Last year were auctioned only 9 tons when in 2010 were more than 53 offered for sale. This fall, sustained over time, has pulled up prices of up to place them in a maximum of 9 euros the kilo and has also caused a flurry of oricios from Galicia in the Asturian markets. According to experts, the product of the surrounding community is of poorer quality than the native and has a sweeter taste.,es

Experts attribute the decline of the Asturian oricio to overexploitation of the resource, caused largely by the canning companies engaged in the production of products “delicatessen”Although biologists also point to warming waters by the meteorological phenomenon known as “El Niño”.

The coastal pollution of the environment Gijón, the estuary of Avilés and Aboño may also have to look at the situation Oricio.

La asociación de pescadores deportivos “Volver al Pedreru” ya mostró ayer su “radical oposición” to the measures proposed by the regional government and especially as sea urchin catches concerned. “Without going into conflict, we recall that the further exploitation of this resource has been carried out by professionals, as reported by the Directorate General of Fisheries. However, the rigor of the prohibitions has always fallen on ordinary citizens. Are others who should limit the actions to contribute to the sustainability of Oricio”, spokesmen say the group, with two hundred members.
