Lesser-spotted dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula) in Subarea VI and Divisions VIIa–c, e–j (Celtic Seas and west of Scotland)

The advice given in 2012 for this stock is  valid for 2013-2015: “Based on the ICES approach to data-limited  stocks,  ICES  advises  that  current  catches  could  be  increased  by  a  maximum  of  20%.  Because  the  data  for  catches of lesser-spotted dogfish are not fully documented, ICES is not in a position to quantify the result.. ICES does not advise that an individual TAC be set for this stock, at present.”
