Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) in Division 7.a (Irish Sea)

ICES advises that when the precautionary approach is applied, catches in 2017 should be no more than 1493 tonnes. If this

stock is not under the EU landing obligation in 2017 and discard rates do not change from the average of the last three years

(2013–2015), this implies landings of no more than 436 tonnes.
