Advice Sentence

ICES advises that when the EU multiannual plan (MAP) for the Western waters and adjacent waters is applied, catches in 2026 that correspond to the F ranges in the plan are between 1 664 tonnes (corresponding to FMSY lower × SSB2026/MSY Btrigger) and 2 482 tonnes (corresponding to FMSY × SSB2026/MSY Btrigger).

*
The probability of SSB being below Blim in 2027. This probability relates to the short-term probability of SSB <; Blim and is not comparable to the long-term probability of SSB <; Blim tested in simulations when estimating fishing mortality reference points.
#
SSB in 2027 relative to SSB in 2026 (9 485 tonnes).
##
Total catch in 2026 relative to TAC in 2025 (2510 tonnes)
^
The EU multiannual plan (MAP; EU, 2019).
^^
Advice values for 2026 relative to the corresponding 2025 values (FMSY 2510 tonnes, FMSY lower 1 716 tonnes). All other scenarios are relative to the 2025 value for the FMSY scenario (2 510 tonnes)
