Management Plans

The relevant Parties have agreed management plans for the main pelagic species of mackerel, North Sea herring, Atlanto-Scandian herring and blue whiting. The industry supports the implementation of a management plan for West of Scotland herring and has been actively involved in the European Commission's consultation process.

The Scottish pelagic industry holds the UK seat on the Pelagic RAC which advises the European Commission on fisheries management issues and recommends the level of TAC's for pelagic species on an annual basis.
