Summary: | ICES advises that its conclusions from 2018 remain valid, meaning that: 1. Removing the EU/UK TACs for the following stocks may generate a high risk of the stocks being exploited unsustainably: Witch ( Glyptocephalus cynoglossus ) in ICES Division 3.a, Subarea 4, and Division 7.d. Turbot ( Scophthalmus maximus ) in ICES Subarea 4. Brill ( Scophthalmus rhombus ) in ICES Division 3.a, Subarea 4, and divisions 7.d and 7.e. 2. Removing the EU/UK TACs for lemon sole ( Microstomus kitt ) in ICES Division 3.a, Subarea 4, and Division 7.d stock may generate a lower risk of the stock being exploited unsustainably. 3. For all stocks, management should be using a single-species TAC covering the stock distribution area.
