TACs and quotas

Total allowable catches (TACs) or fishing opportunities, are catch limits (expressed in tonnes or numbers) that are set for most commercial fish stocks. TACs are set annually for most stocks (every two years for deep-sea stocks) by the Council of fisheries ministers. TACs are shared between EU countries in the form of national quotas. For each stock a different allocation percentage per EU country is applied for the sharing out of the quotas. Read more: TACs and quotas

Morphological description

Caudal fin double truncate (Ref. 27363). Almost wholly ambicolorate, the blind side is darkly pigmented except for the anterior portion of the body which has dark pigments only on the opercle, subopercle, a small region adjacent and dorsal to the head, and the distal half of the pectoral fin; two lighter pigmented areas were present on the unpigmented dorsal region of the head. The blind side had one of the 3 typical ocelli (upper one) in the same position with that of the ocular side (Ref. 34245).
