The ICES herring assessment working group (HAWG) met for eight days in March
2013 to assess the state of six herring stocks and four sprat stocks/populations. The
working group conducted update assessments for five of the herring stocks. No analytical assessments were carried out for herring in VIaS although available survey
and/or fishery data were examined. An assessment was performed for North Sea
sprat and explorative assessments were carried out for English Channel sprat and IIIa
sprat.
