Lesser-spotted dogfish in Iberia.pdf (165.46 kB)
Lesser-spotted dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula) in divisions 8.c and 9.a (Cantabrian Sea and Atlantic Iberian waters)
The advice given in 2012 for this stock is biennial and valid for 2013 and 2014 (see ICES, 2012a):”Based on ICES approach to data-limited stocks, ICES advises that catches should be decreased by 9%. Because the data for catches of lesser-spotted dogfish are not fully documented (due to the historical use of generic landings categories), ICES is not in a position to quantify the result. ICES does not advise that an individual TAC be set for this stock. This is the first year ICES is providing quantitative advice for data-limited stocks.”
