Whiting (Merlangius merlangus) in Subarea 4 and Division 7.d (North Sea and eastern English Channel)

ICES advises that when the MSY approach is applied, total catches in 2017 should be no more than 23 527 tonnes.

Since this stock is only partially under the EU landing obligation, ICES is not in a position to advise on landings corresponding to the advised catch.
