Whiting (Merlangius merlangus) in divisions 7.b–c and 7.e–k (southern Celtic Seas and western English Channel)

ICES advises that when the MSY approach is applied, catches in 2017 should be no more than 25 125 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.
