Cod (Gadus morhua) in NAFO Subarea 1 (West Greenland Inshore Spawning Cod)

ICES advises that when the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) approach is applied, catches in 2026 should be no more than 4 336 tonnes. Out of this, catches in NAFO divisions 1A–C should be no more than 2 376 tonnes, and catches in divisions 1D–F should be no more than 1 960 tonnes.

Cod in NAFO Subarea 1 is caught in a fishery comprising a mix of West Greenland inshore spawning cod, West Greenland offshore spawning cod, and East Greenland–Iceland offshore spawning cod. This should be taken into account when defining management actions to avoid exceeding the advice for any of the stocks.
