Strong Start to the Gold Mackerel Season in Cala Ratjada – Opportunity or Warning Sign?

Answer

Why is the gold mackerel season in Cala Ratjada starting so strongly?

The season got off to a fast start because several boats reached their permitted catch limit within just a few hours at sea. That points to strong availability of fish, but it also shows how quickly supply can build up at the harbour in the first days of the season.
