Request from Iceland to ICES to evaluate the long-term management plan and harvest control rule for Icelandic haddock

ICES has evaluated the current biological precautionary reference points and considers that Blim = 45 000 t is appropriate. ICES recommends that a precautionary harvest rate HRpa = 0.46 replaces the current Fpa.

ICES concludes that the harvest control rule for Icelandic haddock in the request is precautionary and in accordance with the ICES MSY approach.
