Abstract

This Recommendation provides that the Contracting Parties, Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities (CPCs) whose vessels have been actively fishing for albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) in the Mediterranean shall implement a 15-year rebuilding plan starting in 2022 and continuing through 2036 with the goal of achieving BMSY with at least 60% probability. For 2022, a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) shall be set at 2,500 t for albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) in the Mediterranean.
