The Galician fleet, which is targeting Bonito Del Norte (Atlantic Albacore), expects the 2005 campaign to surpass the one of last year.
According to director of the Burela Boatowners in Galicia, Spain, Mr. Miguel Neira, if the trend of the increasing price evolution for bonito catches during the first week of July continues, the economic result of last year will be surpassed.
Mr. Neira said that there was an important reduction of the average price recorded during the first weeks of July 2004. The average price for bonito Del Norte was then at 3.14 Euros per kg.
