Progress D3 Mark Dickey-Collas

D3.3 Healthy stocks are characterised by high proportion of old, large individuals (2010) Workshop explored: • Size distribution of the species (state) • Selectivity pattern of the fishery exploiting the species (pressure) • Genetic effects of exploitation on the species (state)

Size distribution of the species lack of meaningful assessment benchmark, large degree redundancy Selectivity pattern of the fishery exploiting the species No agreement- seen as management issue, confounds D3.1, cannot define GES & reconcile with CFP, mixed fisheries Genetic effects of exploitation Ambiguous and likely slow response time to pressure, data greedy

Workshop on assessing D3 National list of species: Data Collection Framework (DCF) New DCF will reconcile assessed stocks & nationally important stocks All stocks fished by national fleet Stocks to species, challenges CFP What does it mean to management?

Proposal & Request Important reconcile with CFP

This approach creates substantial challenges Trade-offs between the use of evidence based and available information when integrating within stocks.

Practical application Variable evidence base Differing relationship to MSY Challenge to CFP

D3 information supply from ICES Memorandum of understanding between ICES and the European Union requires ICES to give its advice on CFP objectives in a manner that is consistent with environmental objectives. Thus ICES must advise on fisheries issues in consideration of EU environmental policies.
