Résumé

This Recommendation lays down rules to ensure that the exploitation levels of small pelagic stocks in the Adriatic Sea are at the maximum sustainable yield by 2020. In 2017 and 2018, contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties shall not exceed the level of catches for small pelagics exerted in 2014 and they shall reduce their fishing effort for the years 2017 and 2018. Fishing vessels targeting small pelagics shall not exceed 180 fishing days per year, with a maximum of 144 fishing days targeting sardine and a maximum of 144 fishing days targeting European anchovy. In 2017 and 2018, the CPCs shall apply spatio-temporal closures in view of protecting nursery and spawning areas, during the period of closure specified in Paragraph 7. In 2017 and 2018, the contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties shall apply additional closures for vessels over 12 m length overall for not less than 6 months. Furthermore, the contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties shall ensure that the overall fleet capacity of trawlers and purse seiners actively fishing for small pelagic stocks in terms of gross tonnage, engine power and number of vessels, as recorded both in national and GFCM registers, does not exceed, in 2017 and 2018, the fleet capacity for small pelagics in 2014, and all vessels above 15 m length overall actively fishing for small pelagic stocks are equipped with an electronic logbook and vessel monitoring system by the end of 2017.
