What you obviously do not know us that there is something called Catch and release, practised by all ethical sports fisherman including those in the Algarve.
You do not need a catch quota if you operate a catch and release policy.

None of the species you list is regarded as endangered unlike Blue fin tuna.
How many additional tonnes do you need for research.
Its simple, the so called Gibraltar sports fisherman having filled the self awarded Gibraltar quota have asked for more so that they can make even more money

Catch and release

Yet Gibraltar is the least harvester of them all.

Your fish story isn't about fish. It's about your incessant quest to demonise Gibraltar. That's all.

If it were about fish, then why don't you pick on a real offender, like Spain or Portugal?

Or to disrupt and cause controversy on evey thread

Does it give you an orgasm?

It is not complicated, if Gibraltar really was the honest and ethical place Fred with your posts from the ministry suggests it would not award itself a quota for an endagered species.
Any reasonable petson would expect Gibraltar to set the highest standards but money is obviously more important than keeping the higher ground.
Were the waters around Gibraltar British such a quota would be illegal.

Marine Ecosystem Restoration Programme progressing well

The Government’s Department of the Environment and Climate Change continues to progress its marine ecosystem restoration programme. The interdisciplinary programme recently kicked off with the seagrass restoration project, which aims to re-establish what is a tremendously important source of food, oxygen, habitat and a carbon sink. The particular species of seagrass that is being planted is 'Neptune grass' Cymodocea nodosa.

This species was known to be abundant within our waters, particularly towards the North of the Bay, although its presence diminished to extinction over the years due to such factors as pollution and raking of the seabed

The recently appointed Director for Europe at Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London will arrive in Gibraltar on Monday 21st September.

Visit by Foreign Office Director for Europe

The Director for Europe at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is going to tour British Gibraltar Territorial Waters in a Royal Navy vessel.

Well that may cause a few raised eyebrows amongst those who consider Gibraltar has no waters.

Being that fishing doesn't even show up as a tiny blip on Gibraltar's GDP radar, I believe you may be overstating the profit from bluefin a bit - in fact, by many orders of magnitude (as usual). It seems it's pretty insignificant in fact. So small, it's all but impossible to find any accurate numbers at all.

Spain, on the other hand, employs 4.5% of its workforce in the fishing industry, and it has one of the highest bluefin quotas in Europe, which it routinely fulfils in a couple of months, and explains their ongoing lobbying to get it increased.

Rather than continuing to embarrass yourself with this fish story, you really ought to start a poll thread entitled "Gibraltar bad? or everywhere else far better?".

Gorham’s find points to prehistoric heavy metal pollution

“We have looked at the heavy metal concentrations in the cave deposits in Gorham’s, and the findings reveal that the Neanderthal’s were already polluting the environment with their fires. We have found high concentration of copper and zinc in Gorham’s. Levels that today would be regarded as pollution,” Gibraltar Museum Director Professor Clive Finlayson told the Chronicle.
