Herring (Clupea harengus) in subdivisions 25-29 and 32, excluding the Gulf of Riga (central Baltic Sea)

ICES advises that when the EU multiannual plan (MAP) for the Baltic Sea is applied, catches in 2026 that correspond to the F ranges in the plan are between 120 378 (corresponding to F_{MSY lower} × SSB₂₀₂₆/MSY B_trigger) and 157 996 tonnes (corresponding to F_MSY × SSB₂₀₂₆/MSY B_trigger).

The fishery for central Baltic herring includes fish from Gulf of Riga herring. The above advice corresponds to catches of herring in subdivisions 25–29 and 32 of no more than 154 542 tonnes (corresponding to F_MSY × SSB₂₀₂₆/MSY B_trigger) in 2026, assuming the same proportion of the Gulf of Riga herring and central Baltic herring stocks is taken in subdivisions 25–29 and 32 as was estimated for 2020–2024.
