Tunisian authorities have issued a warning against the premature fishing of coryphene, commonly known as lambouka. The official fishing season for this species will commence on August 15th, 2026, and any fishing activity before this date is prohibited. This announcement, reported by Kapitalis, aims to protect the species and ensure sustainable fishing practices. Violators of this regulation will face penalties, though the specifics were not detailed. The early warning underscores the government’s commitment to managing Tunisia’s marine resources. This measure is intended to allow the lambouka population to breed and replenish before the season begins. The notice serves as a reminder to fishermen to adhere to established timeframes.
