Spotted ray (Raja montagui) in Division IXa (west of Galicia, Portugal, and Gulf of Cadiz)

 Based  on  the  ICES  approach  to  data-limited  stocks,  ICES  advises  that  catches  should  be reduced  by  20%  from  current  levels. Based on estimated species-specific landings, this would imply landings of no more than 106 t in each of 2015 and 2016. Discards have not been quantified and there is some discard survival.
