Northern prawn

Several fisheries for the Northern prawn are MSCMSC:
Marine Stewardship Council, an independent, international non-profit organization that has developed an eco-label that guarantees well-managed, sustainable fisheries. Fish products that meet the criteria of the eco-label can be identified by the blue MSC logo.-certified. In the northwest Atlantic, a number of fisheries have been certified since 2008. In addition, on the eastern side of the Atlantic, fisheries from Denmark, Estonia, Greenland, Scotland, the Faroe Islands and Norway, among others, carry the MSC label. Northern prawn are caught using fine-mesh bottomBottom trawls:
A fishing technique in which cone-shaped nets terminating in a codend are dragged through the water column or along the bottom. trawl nets with a sorting panel in the throat of the net, allowing juvenile fish to escape. This prevents the bycatchBycatch:
Species caught next to species targeted for fishery. By-catches can consist of non-commercial species and species that are too small, and can be kept (this part is sometimes called by-product) or thrown back into the sea (discards).  of fish as much as possible.

The Northern shrimpstockStock:
The fish of a particular species reproducing in the same area in the same period.  in this area seems to be doing well, but it does fluctuate around the biologically safe limit. Due to a lack of recent scientific data, there is also some uncertainty about the development of this stock.

Many marine species are protected from deliberate or intentional disturbance, capture, injury and killing, and in some cases possession or sale. Species are often protected if they play an important role in the ecosystem or are sensitive to fishing. These marine species are protected regardless of whether they are inside or outside marine protected areas. species, it does seem to play a role. The number of discardsDiscards:
Unwanted by-catch, which is thrown back because there is no quota, the market price is too low, or the fish is below the legal minimum landing size. Discards can be alive or dead. in this fishery does not appear to be high and consists only of species regulated by catch limitsCatch limits:
The maximum amount of fish of a species caught per country, per year. . In addition, however, this fishery does come into contact with the bottom, which may disturb sensitive benthic species and habitats.

This fishery is regulated by catch limitsCatch limits:
The maximum amount of fish of a species caught per country, per year.  and the implementation of ecosystem-based management is monitored. Management in Iceland is considered very effective, in which a landing obligationlanding obligation:
In the EU, the landing obligation exists to prevent fishermen from throwing too many fish back into the sea. First, fishermen had to throw back undersized fish and over-quota fish. Not all fish species survive this. Therefore, you have to land these fish. That way we waste less food. The EU also hopes that fishermen will fish more selectively. with adequate monitoring is central. The managementManagement:

The northern shrimp stockStock:
The fish of a particular species reproducing in the same area in the same period.  in the north-east Atlantic is overfishedOverfished:
A stock is overfished when the stock size has decreased so far that it can no longer produce a maximum sustainable yield. The size of the fish populations is insufficient to reproduce in the long term. . The fishing pressureFishing pressure:
Fishing pressure is a result of the fishing effort/amount of fishing on a stock, which determines the fishing mortality. Fishing mortality is the share of the fish stock that dies annually as a result of fishing. has been too high since 2010, which has caused the population to decline significantly. On the north-west Atlantic, overfishingOverfishing:
There is so much fish caught that the size of the stock has diminished so far that it can no longer produce a maximum sustainable yield. The size of the fish populations is insufficient to reproduce in the long term.  is also taking place. Both stocks are in critical condition.

Both bottomBottom trawls:
A fishing technique in which cone-shaped nets terminating in a codend are dragged through the water column or along the bottom. trawl fisheries have a major impact on cartilaginous fish such as sharks and rays. The use of so-called sorting boxes, which makes it easier for larger species to escape from the net, has reduced bycatchBycatch:
Species caught next to species targeted for fishery. By-catches can consist of non-commercial species and species that are too small, and can be kept (this part is sometimes called by-product) or thrown back into the sea (discards).  of these species. In addition, however, this fishing method comes into contact with the bottom, which can disturb sensitive benthic species and habitats.

Although this species is managed by a management plan in the north-east Atlantic and various technical measures in the north-western part, there is not yet sufficient evidence that this reduces fishing pressureFishing pressure:
Fishing pressure is a result of the fishing effort/amount of fishing on a stock, which determines the fishing mortality. Fishing mortality is the share of the fish stock that dies annually as a result of fishing.. The managementManagement:
