ICES advises on the basis of the MSY approach that catches should be no more than 6432 t. If discarding rates do not change from the average of the last three years, this corresponds to landings of no more than 3988 t.
Effective technical measures should be implemented to reduce high discard rates in the Nephrops fleet (TR2).
