Advice Sentence
*
ICES advises that when the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) approach is applied, catches in 2027 should be no more than 19 334 tonnes, assuming discard and discard survival rates do not change from the average of the last 3 years (2023–2025). This implies landings of no more than 10 501 tonnes.

Assuming recent discard rate.

Including below minimum size (BMS) landings (EU stocks), assuming recent discard rate, including surviving discards.
***
SSB 2028 relative to SSB 2027.
^
Advice value for 2027 relative to advice value for 2026 (16 533 tonnes; [ICES, 2025a]).
^^
Note that, under the current stock conditions, the target SSB of these scenarios are not achievable within the limits of fishing pressure used in the forecasting procedure.
^^^
The probability of SSB being below Blim in 2028. 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.
