Advice Sentence
*
ICES advises that when the MSY approach is applied, catches in 2025 should be no more than 25 317 tonnes. ICES notes the existence of a precautionary management plan developed and adopted by one of the relevant management authorities for this stock. The use of combined species TACs for the two anglerfish species, black-bellied anglerfish (Lophius budegassa) and white anglerfish (Lophius piscatorius), prevents effective control of the single-species exploitation rates and could lead to the overexploitation of either species.
