The 2012 advice for this stock was biennial and valid for 2013–2014. New data available do not change the perception of this stock. Therefore the advice for this fishery in 2015 is the same as theadvice for 2013: ICES advises on the basis of the approach for data-limited stocks that catches should not be increased unless there is evidence that this is sustainable. Measures should be taken to limit occasional high levels of bycatch.
