Fisheries: Quotas
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make it his policy to establish fishing quotas for target stocks at a level that would help prevent accidental catches of bycatch species at a level that would exceed sustainable limits.
- Answer
-
In developing our position on annual total allowable catch, Defra makes use of the best available science and takes account of the interaction between species that can be caught together. We are mindful of the need to uphold a balance that maintains fish stocks, including bycatch species, at sustainable levels.
