The crew of the fishing felucca Padron Marco brings on board a 110 kg swordfish caught off the Sicilian coast, in Messina, Italy, June 21, 2024. In the photo, Peppe, one of the crew members scratches the cheek of the fish, a gesture that is called "Cardata" and symbolizes the victory of man over the animal. Swordfish fishing with boats called feluccas has been practiced for centuries in the Strait of Messina (and it is also the only place where it is practiced), it is a fishing that is practiced only from the month of June to mid-August, a period in which the swordfishes are more present in the strait and the weather is favorable for this type of particular boats. Due to sea warming and the consequent reduction in fish to be caught, this ancient activity is at risk of extinction despite being an eco-sustainable fishery that respects the ecosystem.
