"A new set of measures are proposed for the protection of the stock of seabass in the North East Atlantic. In June 2014, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) released scientific advice on this stock, which has been in rapid decline since 2012. Furthermore, the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisherires (STECF) considered that in general current national measures for the protection of seabass have proved ineffective. Seabass is a late maturing and slow growing species whose fishing mortality currently quadruples the levels maximum sustainable yield (MSY) levels. In view of the worrying situation of this stock, which could be on the verge of collapse, fishing opportunities are proposed in the form of fishing effort and catch limits, which should target the main sources of fishing mortality, i.e. pelagic trawling and recreational fishing. This includes a new Annex IIE to the proposed regulation, which is to be completed with information being sought from Member States."
