Blue ling (Molva dypterygia) in Subdivision Vb, and Subareas VI, and VII
No direct fishery and effort should be made to limit bycatch in the mixed fishery. A reduction in catches should be considered in order to be consistent with the MSY (see section 1.2.4 of ICES Advisory Report), namely:
- Current closed areas to protect spawning aggregations should be maintained, and new closed areas should be identified and implemented where appropriate;
- Closed areas should be identified and implemented to protect identified spawning aggregations in international waters in Divisions Vb and VIb.
