Sardine (Sardina pilchardus) in Divisions VIIIa,b,d and Subarea VII (Bay of Biscay, Southern Celtic Seas and English Channel)

This is the first time ICES gives advice for sardine in Divisions VIIIa,b,d and Subarea VII. ICES advises on the basis of precautionary considerations that catches should be no more than 27 554 t. Discards are assumed to be negligible; all catches are therefore assumed to be landed.
