Advice Sentence
*
ICES advises that when the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) approach is applied, and assuming that discard rates and fishery selection patterns do not change from the average of the years 2022–2024, catches in 2026 should be no more than 6 080 tonnes (5 148 tonnes for Firth of Clyde and 932 tonnes for Sound of Jura). To ensure that the stock in Functional Unit (FU) 13 is exploited sustainably, management should be implemented at the FU level. In this particular FU, additional measures should be implemented to ensure that landings taken in each component (the Firth of Clyde and the Sound of Jura) are in line with the advice. The implementation of a single TAC for the entire subarea 6 may not be sustainable. ICES notes the existence of a management plan, developed and adopted by one of the relevant management authorities for Subarea 6.
