"Europe’s fish populations will continue to be over-exploited despite a
longstanding 2020 deadline for setting fishing quotas at sustainable
levels, after ministers from across the EU forced through higher limits
than scientists advised.
Key species such as cod in the west of Scotland and Irish Sea, some
herring stocks, sole and plaice in the Celtic Sea, pollock in western
waters, and ling and tusk in the north-east Atlantic, will all be under
renewed and unsustainable pressure, according to campaigners. Quotas for
some species were increased from last year, despite advice that they
should be brought down."
