When I am freediving in the sea can I use a harpoon or a speargun for catching the fish?

Yep, but only in certain areas and you need a licence, which requires a medical examination.

Thanks. So, if I want to use a harpoon I need a licence for that purpose e.g. like for a gun?

Do I need a licence for a harpoon like this:

or just for a speargun like this:

Thanks, do I need a special license except the one for fishing in general when I want to use a simple harpoon like this?
2290

I do not need to use an advance speargun like this:
2291

Thanks in advance.

I don’t really understand the question. I haven’t read the BOE in its entirety but I don’t believe that the type of harpoon is specified. Please don’t quote me on this. My understanding is that as long as you’re free diving with a harpoon you’ll need this license.
