In response to the ToR the STECF EWG 12-16 on Black Sea stock assessments has accomplished eight stock assessments approaches of sprat, turbot, anchovy, whiting, horse mackerel, piked dogfish, red mullet and rapa whelk. Relevant data have been compiled and reviewed, including those called officially by DG Mare through the 2012 DCF data call for the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Expert knowledge completed the data underlying the stock assessment approaches. The methods and data of the seven stock assessment approaches are documented in section 6 of the present report. For three analytically assessed stocks, i.e. sprat, turbot, and whiting, fisheries management advice is provided JRC.G.4 - Maritime affairs
