Plaice in Subdivision 20 (Skagerrak)

ICES  advises  on  the  basis  of  the  data-limited  approach  that  catches  should  be  no  more  than  7232 tonnes.  If  discard rates  do  not  change  from  the  average  of  the  last  two  years  (2012-2013),  this  implies  landings  of  no  more  than  6287 tonnes. In the Eastern Skagerrak, no directed fisheries should occur and bycatch and discards should be minimized.
