Sea bass (Dicentrarchuslabrax) in Divisions VIIIc and IXa (Bay of Biscay South, Atlantic Iberian Waters)

ICES  advises  than  when  the  precautionary  approach  is  applied,  commercial  catches  should  be  no  more  than  598  tonnes  in  each  of  the  years  2016  and  2017.  All  commercial  catches  are  assumed  to  be  landed.  Recreational  catches  cannot  be  quantified; therefore, total catches cannot be calculated.
