It is a daily ritual intended to assess the day's work. Formerly it was done on the sand of the beach, but today, the Lonja meets all technical advances for its realization.
The fish is placed in an orderly manner (work previously done on the boat) and the auctioneer, after setting a price rise above the usual, begins to recite, figure by figure, in descending order:
"75,74,73 ...", until some buyer says: "mine", at which time the count is stopped by awarding the lot to the buyer.
The benefits are distributed among sailors in a special way traditionally called "el compte a la par" (the retribution of sailors). System that consists of dividing the profit resulting from the auction into two equal halves, after paying the common operating expenses: gas-oil, food, etc.
One half is for the owner of the boat, and the other for workers. In this second half they used to be different parts, as appropriate. Then he proceeded to cast. The pattern wins four to five parts; Motorist wins two and sailors at first earned a part, but with the accumulation of functions are added paddocks or halves, for cooking, repair networks, etc.
