Saithe (Pollachius virens) in subareas 1 and 2 (Northeast Arctic)

ICES advises that when the Norwegian management plan is applied, catches in 2017 should be no more than 150 000 t. Bycatches of coastal cod (Gadus morhua) and golden redfish (Sebastes norvegicus) in fisheries targeting saithe in subareas 1 and 2 should be kept as low as possible.
