SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)
Engraulis encrasicolus
SPECIES NAME(s)
European anchovy
European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) inhabiting in the Bay of Biscay is isolated from adjacent populations, and is assessed and managed as a single stock (ICES, 2014).
Within FishSource, the term "fishery" is used to indicate each unique combination of a flag country with a fishing gear, operating within a particular management unit, upon a resource. That resource may have a known biological stock structure and/or may be assessed at another level for practical or jurisdictional reasons. A fishery is the finest scale of resolution captured in FishSource profiles, as it is generally the scale at which sustainability can most fairly and practically be evaluated.
