Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) in Subarea 4 (North Sea) and Subdivision 3.a.20 (Skagerrak)

ICES advises that when the MSY approach is applied, catches in 2017 should be no more than 158 201 tonnes in Subarea 4 and Subdivision 3.a.20 combined.

Since this stock is only partially under the EU landing obligation, ICES is not in a position to advise on landings corresponding to the advised catch.
