Report of the Working Group on the Assessment of Mackerel, Horse Mackerel, Sardine and Anchovy (WGMHSA), Sec 11

The advice given by ACFM was the following: If a traditional TAC is required it should be set at the average landings

since 1988 excluding 1995, that is, 4 600 t. The agreed TAC for anchovy in Division IXa was 12 000 tonnes for 1998

and 13 000 tonnes for 1999.
