Under 10 metre fisheries notice on area VIId skates and rays, VIId sole and VIId/e plaice update

We monitor uptake for all fishery stocks on a weekly basis and publish this information on our website. Access the full set of spreadsheets.

As notified on the website on 13 August and 20 August, our estimates, based on current catch rates, are that three fisheries are still approaching uptake limits:

  • VIId sole
  • VIId/e plaice
  • VIId skates and rays.

We are working hard within our powers to continue to keep these fisheries open by actively seeking additional quota from a range of sources. We may also have to explore reductions in monthly catch limits to prolong these fisheries if necessary.
