Grey gurnard in the Northeast Atlantic

This is the first time that ICES has provided advice for grey gurnard. Currently there is no TAC for this species and the stock structure of the species is unknown. There is insufficient information to evaluate the status of the grey gurnard in the  Northeast  Atlantic.  Therefore,  based  on  precautionary  considerations,  ICES  advises  that  catches  should  not  be allowed to increase in 2012.
