The current ICES advice is that when the MSY approach is applied with precautionary considerations, there should be zero catch in the year 2024. The mixed-fisheries analysis shows that cod is primarily caught as a bycatch stock by demersal otter trawl fleets targeting haddock and Norway lobster , and to a lesser degree by other midwater and beam trawl fleets.

There is no agreed shared management plan between the EU and UK for this stock.This technical service provides one catch scenario based on the expected bycatch of status quo fishing effort by all fleets.For cod in Division 7.a:194 tonnes are estimated to be caught as bycatch if fishing effort continues at ... |
