Anglerfish (Lophius budegassa) in Divisions VIIb–k and VIIIa,b,d

ICES advises on the basis of the data-limited approachbut cannot quantify the resulting catches. The implied landings should be no more than 10757 tonnes.

Management  of the  two  anglerfish  species under  a  combined  TAC  prevents  effective  control  of  the  single-species exploitation rates and could potentially lead to overexploitation of either species.
