Abstract

This Regulation introduces a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources in order to ensure the protection of fishing grounds, the conservation of the biological resources of the sea and their balanced exploitation on a lasting basis and in appropriate economic and social conditions. Conservation measures may include, in particular, for each species or group of species: (a) the establishment of zones where fishing is prohibited or restricted to certain periods, types of vessel, fishing gear or certain end-uses; (b) the setting of standards as regards fishing gear; (c) the setting of a minimum fish size or weight per species; (d) the restriction of fishing effort, in particular by limits on catches.
