Advice Sentence
*
ICES advises that when the MSY approach is applied, catches in 2025 should be no more than 59 266 tonnes. Management of southern horse mackerel, blue jack mackerel, and Mediterranean horse mackerel under a combined TAC prevents effective control of the single-species exploitation rates and could lead to overexploitation of any of these species.

**
Advised catches in 2025 relative to ICES estimates of catches in 2023 (24 997 tonnes).
***
Advised catches for 2025 relative to the advised catches for 2024 (173 873tonnes).
^
The probability of SSB being below Blim in 2026. This probability relates to the short-term probability of SSB being below Blim and is not comparable to the long-term probability of SSB being below Blim tested in simulations when estimating fishing mortality reference points.
