Fishermen Must Leave Cod for Turbots
Finnish fishermen are having problems because of rules from the European Union. Many fish are available, but they cannot catch all of them. They must leave some fish on the shore.
The fishermen use Granforsin fishing gear. The EU has set limits on how much they can catch. There is a large amount of herring being caught. However, the rules prevent them from catching turbots. This situation is similar to one that happened a long time ago in the 1980s.
