This represents a fundamental shift in fisheries policy. The final text agreed by the Council and European Parliament includes a number of exemptions and flexibility tools that raise issues for implementation, catch forecasting, stock assessment and control and monitoring. The European Commission has requested STECF and ICES to consider these issues. At a scoping meeting involving STECF and the ICES Secretariat held during the summer plenary of STECF these issues were discussed and a draft work plan agreed between STECF and ICES of how to address them. Request to the STECF STECF is requested to review the report of the STECF Expert Working Group, evaluate the findings and make any appropriate comments and recommendations. Observations of the STECF The meeting of EWG 13-16 is the first of several intended STECF meetings addressing the issue of landing obligations for EU fishing fleets. The next meeting (EWG 13-17) is already planned for 26 th -28 th November 2013. The EWG 13-16 report highlights that there are a number of interpretational issues relating to the de minimis exemptions described in Article 15 of the the basic regulation. It is unclear whether these exemptions are meant to apply at a MS level or can be cumulative across MSs. Similarly, it is unclear whether these exemptions should apply at the individual species level or for all species combined. Regarding inter-species quota flexibilities, it is unclear whether the so-called ‘donor’ quota was intended to be provided at the individual vessel level, at fleet level or at Member State or regional level and whether the donor quota is restricted to single or multiple species, as ’target-species’ is not defined. The inter-species quota flexibility and the de minimis provisions can provide flexibility in the system to better adjust catch compositions to resemble fishing opportunities and increase both ecological and economic sustainability. However, depending on how the text in the regulation is interpreted, which and in which sequence these flexibilities are used the same provisions could be used to legally increase catches well in excess of desired or intended levels. STECF observes that the report identifies a number of important factors that will require careful consideration, if negative and unintended consequences are to be avoided. 4 STECF notes that any detailed rules that are made to implement the landings obligations will create several new restrictions, opportunities and incentives. Hence, before being finalised and agreed, STECF considers that proposed new rules should be carefully scrutinized to identify what business incentives they create for fishing-business owners and therefore what the responses of fishing-business operators are likely to be. In short, proposed new rules should be tested for unintended and undesired consequences. STECF notes that the EWG 13-16 compiled an interesting and valuable spreadsheet comparing the time series of catch data held by ICES and STECF, which indicates that discrepancies between the two data sources has decreased in recent years. The report also proposes which data are the most appropriate to use for discard estimates. STECF observes that EWG 13-16 addressed the important issue of control and enforcement in relation to the landing obligation, and that these aspects should be considered an important part of future discussions. Conclusions of the STECF Based on the findings in the report of the EWG 13-16,

    HOW BENTHIC HABITATS AND BOTTOM TRAWLING AFFECT TRAIT COMPOSITION IN THE DIET OF EUROPEAN PLAICE (PLEURONECTES PLATESSA) IN THE NORTH SEA Jacqueline Eggleton, Kenny A.J., Bolam S.G., Depestele J., Garcia C. IFS10, Saint Malo 11th-16th November 2017 ‘Integrating the role of marine benthic ecosystems in fisheries management’ Two fundamental questions confronted by fisheries scientists: 1. To what extent do commercial fish target their prey? 2. Do the impacts of bottom trawling on benthic assemblages contribute to sustaining these populations ? Need to understand links (as trophic interactions) between populations of demersal fish species and potential benthic invertebrate prey (food) which live on or in the seabed Our questions 1. Do commercial fish species target different benthic prey? 2. Do commercial fish species target benthic prey differently in different habitats? 3. Do commercial fish species target benthic prey that are resistant or favoured by fishing pressure? To provide functional links between predator and prey we use biological traits analysis (BTA) What data do we need? 1. What fish are eating Fish stomachs 2. Habitat information at the scale of the fishery Habitat map What data do we need? 1. What fish are eating Fish stomachs 2. Habitat information at the scale of the fishery Habitat map 3.

PRELIMINARY RECONSTRUCTION OF TOTAL MARINE FISHERIES CATCHES FOR THE NETHERLANDS IN THE NORTH SEA (1950-2010) Darah Gibson, Kyrstn Zylich and Dirk Zeller Sea Around Us, Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, 2202 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Dutch marine fisheries are reconstructed from 1950-2010 within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) equivalent waters in the North Sea. The International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) publically available electronic data are used a ‘reporting’ baseline for the reconstruction. Data and information from ICES stock assessments, peer-reviewed literature, grey literature and local experts are used to estimate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) catch. Estimates of IUU catch are made in terms of discards, unreported, over-reported, and recreational and subsistence catch and are used to improve the reported baseline. Our preliminary reconstructed catch within Dutch EEZ equivalent waters is nearly 2 times the reported baseline catch. The reconstructed catch slightly decreases from a catch of 233,000 t in 1950 to 176,000 t in 2010 with a peak of nearly 500,000 t in 1985.

In this microichthyological study the teeth and bony cores of gill rakers of three pleuronectiform species [European plaice Pleuronectes platessa Linnaeus, 1758 and European flounder Platichthys flesus trachurus (Duncer, 1892), both in the Pleuronectidae, and turbot Scophthalmus maximus (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Scophthalmidae] of the Baltic Sea are SEM imaged, described and compared for the first time. The shape and number of teeth in jaws and on pharyngeal tooth plates as well as the shape, size and number of the bony cores of gill rakers in these taxa differ. The European plaice and European flounder carry incisiform teeth anteriorly in their jaws and smoothly rounded, molariform teeth on pharyngeal tooth plates; the teeth of the plaice are more robust. The gill rakers have similar gross morphology, occurring as separate conical thornlets on gill arches. The bony cores of these thornlets (rakers) consist of vertical ribs with connective segments between them.
