Request on evaluation of a management plan for haddock in zones VIa and EC waters of Vb

ICES advises that a harvest rule with a target fishing mortality of 0.3 and a TAC constraint of ±1 5% is consistent with the precautionary approach (high probability of SSB being above Blim by 2 0 15 and beyond). In addition, simulations suggest that this harvest rule has the best chance, among those tested, of producing a combination of low risk to biomass and high cumulative yield, thus it conforms with the goal of achieving long-term maximum sustainable yield from the stock .
