What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Rivers, streams and coastal lagoon mouths (corvina negra closure).
During the annual corvina negra precautionary closure, extraction of corvina negra by any method is prohibited in all rivers and streams flowing into the Río de la Plata and the Atlantic Ocean, and at the mouths of coastal lagoons on the Atlantic. This is a species-specific area closure rather than a blanket spearfishing ban.
