ICES advises that when the EU multiannual plan (MAP) for the Baltic Sea is applied, catches in 2026 that correspond to the F ranges in the plan are between 176 056 tonnes and 230 518 tonnes. According to the MAP, catches higher than those corresponding to FMSY (224 616 tonnes) can only be taken under conditions specified in the plan, while the entire range is considered precautionary when applying the ICES advice rule.
