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.
Although it is unknown what impact this 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 fishery has on endangered and protectedProtected species:
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 regulations surrounding fisheries and aquaculture that ensure that production is carried out within legal frameworks and that sustainability can be assured. of this species is largely effective.
