SUMMARY
SUMMARY

SPECIES NAME(s)
European plaice
It has been recently determined; based on larval drift, otolith characteristics, genetics, and tagging studies; that plaice in the North Sea and Skagerrak conforms a single stock, and a combined assessment and advice was conducted in 2015 (ICES, 2015a,b).
ANALYSIS
Strengths
- A precautionary plaice and sole management plan is in operation; goal of stage one (recovery plan) is achieved. The plaice spawning stock is at a historical high and increasing further.
- Data about retained and discarded species, namely PET species, and the interaction with sensitive habitats is available.
