The 2012 advice for this stock wasbiennial and valid for 2013–2014. New data available do not change the  perception  of  this  stock.  Therefore, the  advice  for  this  fishery  in  2015  is  the  same as  the  advice  for  2013–2014. However, ICES notes that catches for the period 2010–2011 have been revised substantially downwards and mean catch for 2009–2011is now 896 t (compared to the previous estimates of 1687 t).  Applying the  same  20% reduction to the revised catches gives catch advice of 717 t. Based on ICES approach to data-limited stocks, ICES advises that catches should be no more than 717t.
