Nephrops in FU 20 (Labadie) and FU 21 (Jones and Cockburn)

New data (catch and survey) available for this stock do not change the perception of the stock. Therefore, the advice for this  fishery  in  2015  is  the  same  as  the  advice  for  2014.  This  corresponds  to  landings  of  no  more  than  2500  tonnes.  Considering that no discard ban is in place for 2015, and assuming that discard rates do not change from the average of the last two years (2012–2013) the resulting catch would be no more than 3366 tonnes. 

In order to ensure the stock in this functional unit is exploited sustainably, management should be implemented at the functional unit level.
