Monitoring of discarding and retention by trawl fisheries in Western Waters and the Irish Sea in relation to stock assessment and technical measures
Westem Waters fisheries face major challenges in relation to the depleted state of the fishery resources and in implementing the adjustments required to bring exploitation of these resources on to a more sustainable basis. Fisheries assessments, as carried out by ICES working groups, use data from m...

Westem Waters fisheries face major challenges in relation to the depleted state of the fishery resources and in implementing the adjustments required to bring exploitation of these resources on to a more sustainable basis.
