Abstract
  • The Common Fisheries Policy of the European Union is currently adopting a major change to its methodology, by eliminating discards. One of the questions that arise related with the implementation of the landing obligation (LO) refers to its impact on supplies of unavoidable, unwanted catches (UUC) and how they can be utilized once they have been landed. Introduction of the LO has not only led to a new regime in the fishing activities, but also forced the sector to focus on what to do with significant supplies of fish that previously were thrown overboard. The first step in that work is to provide an overview of current and expected supplies of UUC, where and when they will be landed, what are the available facilities and how the set-up is at the landing harbours to cope with changing supplies. This paper addresses this new situation by focusing on four selected EU fisheries[i]: Bay of Biscay (landings in the Basque country), North Sea, Skagerrak & Kattegat (Danish fleet), the Mediterranean (bottom trawlers landing in Mallorca) and the English Channel (French fleet). Icelandic fisheries are in addition examined to provide an example of a fishery where a LO has been successfully in effect for decades. There are similarities and differences between the fisheries examined, both in regards to expected supplies and expectations when it comes to utilization alternatives in the different regions. [i] Part of the work has taken place in the frame of project DiscardLess (www.discardless.eu), EU H2020, grant agreement No 633680.
