The authors contend that Total Allowable Catches (TACs) are routinely set above scientific advice, particularly for depleted stocks caught as bycatch, which creates a cycle of overexploitation and 'choke' situations. They recommend setting fishing opportunities well below the 'headline' scientific advice from ICES to account for ecosystem dynamics and uncertainties.
