The complete stock structure of North Sea sandeel (Ammodytes spp.) is unclear. Although several reproductively isolated sub-populations have been identified, some exchange occurs between neighboring populations in early life stages. From 2010 onwards ICES has presented advice for the North Sea sandeel divided into 7 management areas, based on the assumption that this will better reflect the stock structure and enable improved management avoiding local depletion (ICES 2010). This profile represents the Dogger Bank area – SA1r.
ANALYSIS
Strengths
- The combination of a new assessment model, “SMS-effort” with the specific area-based approach is considered to have improved the quality of the assessment (EU Council Regulation 2021).
