Whiting (Merlangius merlangus) in Division 3.a (Skagerrak and Kattegat)
ICES advises that when the precautionary approach is applied, catches should be no more than 500 tonnes in each of the years 2016 and 2017. If this stock is not under the EU landing obligation and discard rates do not change from the average of the last 3 years (2012–2014), this implies landings of no more than 135 tonnes.
