Article 6 Calculation of by-catch limitsF1

The bycatch limits referred to in this Regulation apply to stocks (combination of species and Division) listed in Annex I.A of the NAFO Conservation and Enforcement Measures.

For each stock, the calculation of bycatch percentage referred to in this Regulation is based on the ratio between the catch of that stock retained on board and the total catch of all stocks retained on board.

Limits and percentages referred to in this Regulation refer to catch weights retained on board at the time of inspection, and are calculated by Division on the basis of the fishing logbook figures. By derogation, the calculation of groundfish by-catch levels shall not include the catches of northern prawn in the total catch on board.
