Iceland request to evaluate the current management plan for saithe in Icelandic waters, input data, and stock assessment
ICES has conducted a benchmark assessment and revised biological reference points.
ICES advises that the harvest control rule for saithe in 5.a proposed in the request with a harvest rate of 0.20 as proposed in the request with a MGT Btrigger of 61 000 t, is consistent with the precautionary approach and with the ICES MSY approach. However, a harvest rate of 0.19 maximizes median long term yield.
