Fisheries
Spanish term or phrase: vedas
El texto dice lo siguiente:
Las vedas constituyen limitaciones impuestas durante un período de tiempo a las actividades pesqueras. Estas prohibiciones pueden tener diferentes objetivos tales como la protección de segmentos estacionales coincidentes con la reproducción y etapa juvenil o la protección de áreas específicas.
Es correcto si traduzco la palabra vedas como "closures"? Muchas gracias

Reference: vedas = restrictions

Reference information:
v) La imposición de vedas en períodos y lugares determinados, además de servir para conservar los recursos, puede utilizarse para reducir o eliminar conflictos entre distintos componentes del sistema pesquero (por ejemplo, las flotas artesanales, industriales y extranjeras) o entre ellos y otros usuarios.
