Advice Sentence
*
ICES advises that when the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) approach is applied, catches in 2027 should be no more than 396 tonnes. If discard rates do not change from the average of the last three years (2023–2025), this implies landings of no more than 383 tonnes. ICES notes the existence of a precautionary management plan, developed and adopted by one of the relevant management authorities for this stock.
