3 Steps in Advisory Process Expert Groups Conduct assessments & first draft of advice Advice Drafting Groups Finalise advice documents Benchmark Workshops In-depth revision of assessment methods: data, models... External Reviewers ACOM Approves and releases advice Technical audits annually & extra reviewing when needed
4 Basis for ICES Advice Management Plan Consistent with PA & recognised as potential basis for advice by competent authorities No ICES MSY approach Transition to MSY approach in 215 No ICES PA approach All options in Outlook Table
5 ICES MSY approach: Maximize long term average yield Safeguard against low SSB F MSY B trigger more caution needed F MSY SSB * If current F higher than this: transition for 215
6 Transition to MSY HCR by 215 Moving from F 21 to F MSY-HCR in 215 in 5 steps F MSY-HCR transition 213 =.4 F(21) +.6 F MSY-HCR F MSY-HCR transition 214 =.2 F(21) +.8 F MSY-HCR F MSY-HCR transition 215 =. F(21) + 1. F MSY-HCR = F MSY-HCR (values of advised F capped at F pa, for consistency with PA)
7 Data limited stocks (DLS): new approach in 212 All stocks for which a full assessment and outlook table with catch options can not be provided (more than 1) In 212, ICES provided quantitative advice for the first time Categorisation of all stocks (6 categories) from data rich towards situations of decreasing information Methods for each category Progress will continue in 213: WKLIFE3 in October
8 Category 3:If a reliable stock abundance index exists: advice:recent catch multiplied by index trend in last 5 years (average last 2 years)/(average previous 3 years) 1.limit result to 2% change (to dampen noise) 2.Precautionary margin: 2% reduction if stock status relative to reference points unknown --unless evidence that stock is strongly increasing or exploitation (F or effort) has decreased substantially. * Where least information available, and when precautionary margin applied: no expected changes in advice for some years, unless important new knowledge emerges

Uncertainy window: 2% decrease 2. Precautionary margin: no, because significant effort decrease in main fisheries 2% catch decrease with respect to recent average (last 3 year average) Previous concerns about landings underreporting no longer considered an issue Recent landings data adequate for provision of catch advice

But not representative of stock abundance, due to high discards
38 Plaice Celtic Sea (VIIf,g) DLS (category 3): Survey trend in last 5 years: 5% increase 1. Uncertainty window: 2% increase 2. Precautionary margin: no, because of the large increase (5%) in biomass 2% catch increase in relation to recent average (last 3 year average) Result:Catch < 1 68 t If discard rates stay at last 3-year average: Landings < 519 t Survey also indicates an overall reduction of mortality over time Use of larger-mesh gear should be encouraged in this fishery where mixed fisheries issues allow for it

40 Plaice in Divisions VIIh-k (Southwest of Ireland) DLS (category 3): SSB trend, from assessment, in last 5 years: 33% increase 1. Uncertainty window: 2% increase 2. Precautionary margin: yes, because stock considered overexploited 2% increase, followed by 2% reduction in relation to recent average (last 3 years) Result applied to the landings from Div VII h-k:landings < 135 t Management should take into account that plaice is caught in a mixed fishery Plaice caught in spatially distinct areas: restricting effort inthose areas may be more effective than limiting landings Discards should be reduced. Use of larger-mesh gear could improve selection, but mixed fishery aspects should be taken into consideration

Trend in last 5 years: 55% increase for L. piscatorius, 25% increase for L. budegassa 1. Uncertainty window: 2% increase 2. Precautionary margin: not applied, because steady effort decline in main fisheries 2% increase over recent average landings (last 3-year average) Result: Landings < t
48 Megrim(Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis) Divisions VIIb k and VIIIa,b,d Advice for 214, DLS: New data (landings, discard, surveys) available do not change stock perception. Therefore, advice for 214 is the same as given for 213: Landings < 12 t Stock category: 3 Statistical catch-at-age model, that can consistently deal with heterogeneous and some missing data (mainly discards), developed in 212 benchmark.
