Objectives | Commercial hauls of herring within the UK territorial waters in the areas north of the Scottish mainland (between 3.5 and 5 degrees West) and off the west coast of the Hebrides (between -6 and -7.5 degrees West). This fishing will be carried out in the context of the monitoring TAC for 6a North and will focus on morphometrics, genetics and catch sampling. The monitoring for morphometrics and genetics will focus on spawning herring close to the coast. The activities will be part of a wider survey into the herring stock in 6a, done by other (UK and Irish flagged) vessels. |
