Workshop om torsk i Kattegatt
In the view of the fishing industry the Cod in the Kattegat has been mismanaged in recent years.
In 2015 ICES finally presented a stock assessment for the cod in the Kattegat. This assessment
suggests that the stock is at about the same level as it was in 2007. The population has grown over
the past 6 years in a row and in 2015, it was estimated to be nearly 7 times as large as it was in
2009 where it was at the lowest. However, over the same period, the TAC was reduced from 500
tons to just 100 tons.
Though a step in the right direction was taken with the setting of a TAC of 370 tons for 2016 there is
still in the view of the fishing industry a long way to go – not least in the light of the forthcoming
introduction of a landing obligation. The TAC does still not reflect the considerable increase in the
cod population that fishermen experience on a daily basis in the Kattegat.
On this background the aim of the workshop is to rethink the present management model
moving towards a sustainable cod fishery in the Kattegat.
