Research for PECH Committee - Landing Obligation and Choke Species in Multispecies and Mixed Fisheries -The South Western Waters

Estudo 16-04-2018

This study presents an identification of the likely stocks that could act as choke stocks under the landing obligation to be fully implemented in 2019 for South Western Atlantic Waters. The study provides an estimation of the likely surplus/deficit quota by stock, Member State and EU level. It also analyses the likely solutions to it and if the likely management possibilities have been used or not. It finally provides a list of stocks of high risk of being choke after the application of the existing tool box for alleviating the choke problem in the near future.
