Abstract

These Regulations prohibit fishing for, transhipment of or having on board of horse mackerel by Irish sea-fishing boats in ICES sub-areas VI, VII, XII and XIV with effect from 28 February 2005. From that date, an Irish sea-fishing boat shall not have horse mackerel on board within the specified area. Notwithstanding anything contained in these Regulations, an Irish sea-fishing boat may have horse mackerel on board and land or tranship horse mackerel if the horse mackerel were taken in the course of fishing for other species, and were inextricably mixed with catches of other species and did not exceed 5 per cent by weight of the total catch. The Regulations also provide with respect to evidence in relation with offences.
