II.1.4)Short description:
EASME wishes to enter into a service contract to assess the identity of herring stocks in ICES divisions 6.a, 7.b and 7.c, through genetic analysis, in order to develop genetic profiles of the northern (ICES division 6.a north) and southern (ICES divisions 6.a south, 7.b and 7.c) stocks, which can be used in the future to discriminate the 2 stocks even during times of mixing, such as in the summer acoustic surveys.
The general objective of this study is to contribute to the achievement of maximum sustainable yield (MSY) assessment and to the development of rebuilding or management plans for the herring stocks in ICES divisions 6.a, 7.b and 7.c.
