Lage und Entwicklung ausgewählter Fischbestände. Einschätzung des ICES im Oktober 2001

During the autumn session of the ICES Advisory Committee for Fisheries Management (ACFM) the stock of the Northern and Southern Shelfs, North Sea and Skagerrak have been analysed and assessed, as well as the mackerel and horse mackerel, sardine, anchovy, Pandalus and Eel. As in previous years ICES recommends a reduction in fishing mortality for a number of stocks. Moreover, ICES recommends for many stocks to establish recovery and management plans, to safeguard a continuous development of the stocks towards safe biological limits.
