Taking stock – are TACs set to achieve MSY?

The document provides a detailed annex of fish species and specific TAC codes excluded from a core analysis. The exclusions are primarily attributed to missing ICES advice, mismatches in geographic areas, or the use of different or unclear processes for setting TACs.

• Certain species were excluded from the core analysis because the necessary scientific advice was not available, specifically for Sandeel (Ammodytes spp.) and Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) across all years.
• A significant number of TACs were excluded due to an 'area mismatch', affecting species such as Blue ling, Brill, turbot, Common sole, Greater silver smelt, Hake, Horse mackerel, Lemon sole, witch, Ling, Megrim, Skates and rays, and Tusk.
• Many TACs were omitted because they were subject to a 'different/unclear process'. This category includes a wide range of species, including Cod, Herring, Mackerel, Saithe, Salmon, and various deep-sea sharks.
• Some exclusions occurred because the TAC was removed, as seen with Common dab, European flounder (for 2017 and before) and Spurdog/dogfish.
