Reports of the ICES Advisory Committee on Fishery Management, 1983

This volume of the Cooperative Research Report contains the reports of the Advisory Committee on Fishery Management in 1983. ACFM held two meetings in 1983, 10-19 May and 26 October - 2 November at ICES headquarters. From the first meeting were issued the complete report to the International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission and Part I of the report to the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission. The second part of the report to the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission was issued from the October-November meeting. In order to make the advice reach managers as fast as possible, the report was issued in chapters and sections and distributed immediately after the chapters had been finalised. This volume contains the two reports to NEAFC together. They have been edited into one report, bringing the stocks in logical sequence and all advice on each stock into one place. The report to NEAFC is followed by the report to IBSFC. The summary sheets, included for the benefit of managers in the reports issued immediately after the meetings, have not been included in this volume.
