Det er ligeledes relevant at understrege, hvilke pligter og ansvar denne flåde har i bevaringen af ressourcerne, for selv om det er små og mellemstore fartøjer, må vi ikke glemme, at der er mange af dem, og at de fisker i farvande, der er meget følsomme over for overfiskeri, eftersom disse områder karakteriseres af en høj koncentration af ungfisk.
It is also appropriate to stress this fleet’s responsibilities and obligations in terms of the conservation of stocks, since, although they are small or medium-sized vessels, we must not forget that there are very large numbers of them and they fish in waters that are very vulnerable to over-fishing, since these areas are characterised by a high concentration of young.
