Cuckoo ray (Leucoraja naevus) in subareas 6 and 7, and in divisions 8.a–b and 8.d (West of Scotland, southern Celtic Seas, and western English Channel, Bay of Biscay)

ICES advises that when the MSY approach is applied, landings in 2023 and 2024 should be no more than 7826 and 8064 tonnes respectively. ICES cannot quantify the corresponding catches.

Management of the catches of skates and rays under a combined TAC prevents effective control of single-stock exploitation rates and could lead to the overexploitation of some species.
