Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in Division 5.b (Faroes grounds)

ICES  advises  that  when  the  precautionary  approach  is  applied,  there  should  be  no  directed  fishery  on  haddock  in  2016  and  bycatch  should  be  minimized.  A  recovery  plan  should  be  developed  and  implemented  as  a  prerequisite  to  reopening  the  directed fishery.
