BUSINESS FLEET SPECIES SERVICES CONTACT PRIVATE AREA A fleet, a company ABSA began its activities as a concessionaire of the Puerto de Burela fish market in April 1997. It was born from the union of a group of shipowners with the aim of professionalizing the management of fishing activities, facing together the challenges that arise in the fishing sector. 20 years later, ABSA and Burela have become one of the reference ports at a national and European level, standing out as the second largest fish market in terms of business volume in Galicia. The Burela fish market presents an average commercialization of 95 tons of fish per day, sometimes exceeding 200 tons in a single day. The marketing average is 24,500 tons per year: The hake is the main source of ABSA. This fishery means more than 11,000 tonnes a year and 52 million euros of business volume. 97% of the hake marketed by ABSA is skewer hake, which is caught by artisanal hook; the rest is divided between fledgling hake and whiting of the day. The northern bonito auction maintains an average of 1,600 tons per year and 6.2 million euros of business volume. The 109 remaining species contribute 12,000 tons of fishery products annually to the auction, generating a business volume of 18.4 million euros.
