Blackspot seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo) in Subarea 9 (Atlantic Iberian waters)

ICES advises that when the precautionary approach is applied, catches should be no more than 138 tonnes in each of the years 2017 and 2018. All catches are assumed to be landed. ICES notes that the distribution of the stock extends outside Subarea 9 and catch statistics are incomplete. ICES recommends the establishment of a management plan that covers the entire stock distribution area.
