All the fish caught at Semana Master was devoluted, as European rule for species caught in sportive competitions, for charity.

In particular the rule indicates that: “Member States shall ensure that catches of marine organisms resulting from leisure fisheries are not marketed. Nevertheless, by way of exception, the marketing of species caught in sportive competitions may be authorised provided that the profits from their sale are used for charitable purposes.”

In this particular case fish caught was given as charity to the organization SOS Mamas (https://www.facebook.com/sosmamasmallorca/).
