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

ICES  advises  that  when  the  Norwegian  management  plan  is  applied,  catches  in  2016  should  be  no  more  than  140  000 t.  All  catches are assumed to be landed. Bycatches of coastal cod and Sebastes norvegicus in fisheries targeting saithe in Subareas I and II should be kept as low as possible.
