Cod (Gadus morhua) in subareas 1 and 2 (Norwegian coastal waters cod)

ICES advises on the basis of the Norwegian rebuilding plan, which requires access to the 2016 autumn survey results that will

be available in December 2016. If the spawning-biomass index in the 2016 autumn survey is lower than the index in 2015, the

fisheries regulations should aim at a reduction of F in 2017 of at least 60% relative to 2009. If the survey index is higher than

in 2015, the plan stipulates that the fisheries regulations should aim at a reduction of F in 2017 of at least 45% relative to

2009.
