Norway lobster (Nephrops spp.) in Division IIIa (Skagerrak and Kattegat)

ICES advises on the basis of the MSY approach that catchesin 2015 should be no more than 10290 tonnes in 2015. If total discard rates do not change from the average of the last three years (2011–2013), this implies total landingsof no more than 5318 tonnes. Note that catchesinclude discards expected to survive the discarding process - assumed to be 25% of the total number discarded for this stock.
