Delete - Report of the Herring Assessment Working Group for the Area South of 62°N (HAWG), Sec8

There has been no ACFM advice on sprat TAC in recent years. The TAC set by management was 200 000 t for 1996

[Sub-area IV(EU zone) + Division IIa (EU zone)] and 150 000 t for 1997. The agreed TAC for 1998 was 150 000 t.

Again at its meeting in May 1998 ACFM did not give any advice on a sprat TAC for the North Sea. The management

agreement between the EU and Norway set a TAC of 175 000 t for 1999.
