Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) in divisions 7.f and 7.g (Bristol Channel, Celtic Sea)
Based on ICES approach to data-limited stocks, ICES advises that catches should be no more than 1608 tonnes. If discard rates do not change from the average of the last three years, this implies landings of no more than 519 tonnes.
Discards exceed landings and technical measures should be introduced to reduce discard rates.
