Order No. 1/DG/2025 establishes the rules for the specific licensing of the capture of curved rays, which aims to continue the scientific studies that have been carried out.

Fishermen must register catch information using a mobile phone application developed for this purpose called PERaia, and only as a last resort use the paper form, under the terms decided by the IPMA, as referred to in paragraph 3 of article 5 of Ordinance no. . 4/2019, of January 3, in its current wording.
