Other skates and rays in Subarea 8 and Division 9.a (Bay of Biscay and Atlantic Iberian waters)

ICES cannot provide catch advice for these stocks due to a lack of reliable survey and catch data. Discarding is known to take place, but ICES cannot quantify the corresponding catches. ICES advises that improved collection of species-specific landings data for more skate taxa be introduced to inform on the status of these stocks.
