The goal is to maintain a population of commercially exploited fish and shellfish within safe biological limits meeting natural conditions by ensuring the exploitation of all commercially exploited fish stocks at or below the level of maximum sustainable yield ensuring that all commercially exploited fish are within safe biological limits and by restricting or maintaining the exploitation of fish stocks at a level that ensures their full reproductive capacity and full range of age and individual sizes.

Maintaining the exploitation of commercially exploited fish stocks at or below maximum sustainable yield ensuring, that all commercially exploited fish species are within safe biological limits.

Maintaining the exploitation of commercially exploited fish stocks at the level ensuring full reproductive capacity of the stocks.

Reducing the exploitation of commercially exploited fish stocks to the level ensuring the achievement of the full and natural age and size distribution of individuals in the populations.

Maintaining decreasing trend of cod catches in order to reach fishing mortality and spawning stock biomass at a level that ensures that maximum sustainable yield is maintained for the stock.

Maintaining decreasing trend of cod catches in order to reach fishing mortality and spawning stock biomass at a level that ensures that maximum sustainable yield is maintained for the stock.

Maintaining exploitation of flounder at a level ensuring maintaining the present level of fishing mortality and the spawning stock biomass increasing trend.

Maintaining exploitation of herring stock in area 25-29 and 32 ExGoR at a level ensuring the maintenance of current or reduced level of fishing mortality and at least the current spawning stock biomass.

Not increasing the current level of exploitation of sprat stock in area 22-32 to maintain decreasing trend in fishing mortality and at least the current spawning stock biomass.
