In this sense, and according to Juanjo Navarro, deputy general director of Balfeg\u00f3, \u201cduring this campaign <strong>we have verified a large number of young tunas between 30 and 60 kg as a consequence of the excellent health of the bluefin tuna stock<\/strong>. Consequently \u2013 adds Navarro \u2013 we have extended the fishing days a little since we have refused to capture these specimens and we have also released already enclosed individuals when we have verified that their size was smaller than desired.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-39045 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/balfego.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-04-at-19.38.59-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"865\" height=\"649\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balfego.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-04-at-19.38.59-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/balfego.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-04-at-19.38.59-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/balfego.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-04-at-19.38.59-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/balfego.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-04-at-19.38.59-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/balfego.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-04-at-19.38.59-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A pioneer in the bluefin tuna fishery, <strong>what we call the Balfeg\u00f3 protocol preserves the safety of the sailors and the well-being of the specimens during the capture and transfer maneuvers<\/strong>, which contributes to avoiding operational risks and increasing product quality ratios.
