Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in Division 6.b (Rockall)

ICES advises on the basis of the MSY approach that catches should be no more than 1620 t in 2014. If discard rates (at age) do not change from the average of the last seven years (2006–2012), this implies landings of no more than 980 t.

Further management measures should be introduced to reduce catches of small haddock and to protect the incoming recruitment in 2013.
