# Sea Harvest Seasonality on Krk

> Krk's sea harvest follows a strict seasonal calendar rooted in fish biology, weather, and traditional practice. Spring brings spawning runs of bream and the start of squid recruitment; summer is the season of pelagic schooling fish (sardine, anchovy, mackerel) and lobster pots; autumn opens squid jigging and oily-fish harvest; winter is the season of octopus, conger eel, dentex, and the deep-water species that move into shallower habitats during cold months. Closures, mesh-size regulations, and traditional restraint protect spawning stocks. Understanding the calendar is the difference between seeing a konoba menu as random and reading it as a transcript of what the sea has been doing.
