Working Group on Widely Distributed Stocks (WGWIDE)

Abstract

WGWIDE reports on the status and considerations for management of the Northeast Atlantic mackerel, blue whiting, Western and North Sea horse mackerel, Northeast Atlantic boarfish, Norwegian spring-spawning herring, striped red mullet (Subareas 6, 8 and Divisions 7.a-c, e-k and 9.a), and red gurnard (Subareas 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) stocks.

2025 catch advice was drafted for six of the stocks (excluding striped red mullet and red gurnard). Benchmark is proposed for 2026 for blue whiting while mackerel, herring and striped red mullet is scheduled to be benchmarked in 2025. Boarfish and both horse mackerel stocks were benchmarked in 2024, and new assessment has been approved for all three stocks.
