ICES advises on the basis of the Norwegian rebuilding plan, which requires access to the 2016 autumn survey results that willbe available in December 2016. If the spawning-biomass index in the 2016 autumn survey is lower than the index in 2015, thefisheries regulations should aim at a reduction of F in 2017 of at least 60% relative to 2009. If the survey index is higher thanin 2015, the plan stipulates that the fisheries regulations should aim at a reduction of F in 2017 of at least 45% relative to2009.
