Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) in divisions 7.g and 7.f, Functional Unit 22 (Celtic Sea, Bristol Channel)

ICES advises that when the MSY approach is applied, and assuming that discard rates and fishery selection patterns do not change from the average of 2013–2015, catches in 2017 should be no more than 2063 tonnes. This implies landings of no more than 1807 tonnes.

To ensure that the stock in functional unit (FU) 22 is exploited sustainably, management should be implemented at the functional unit level.
