CARTAGENA, SPAIN - JUNE 24: The tuna fishing season with the almadraba method, which dates back to pre-Roman times and used in Western Mediterranean countries, has ended in Spain on Friday (June 24).Tuna fish entering the Mediterranean from the Atlantic Ocean are caught by this method that starts at the end of February and continues until mid-June.Anadolu Agency video shows fishing with the almadraba method in the coastal city of Cartagena in the south of Spain.“It is a highly sustainable type of fishing in terms of fisheries. It does no harm to the fish. We immediately send the fish, we have separated, back to the sea, and 90-95% of them survive. We cannot betray the sea,” a Spanish fisherman Omar Diaz told Anadolu Agency.He described the method as a fishing art consisting of a gigantic net that reaches the bottom, keeping fish migrating from the ocean in a maze-like net.The almadraba fishing method started in the Mediterranean in the second century and still has been practiced in Sicily and Sardinia in Italy, Algarve in Portugal, Murcia and Andalusia in Spain, and Tanger in Morocco.The word almadraba is originally Arabic, meaning "a place where one hits or fights".
