No directed fisheries are permitted under this quota. This species shall only be taken as by-catch within the following limits: a maximum of 2 500 kg or 10 %, whichever is greater. If, however, following quota transfers or exchanges or charter, directed fisheries are conducted, catches shall be reported separately (YEL/N3LNO-DIR) and the following shall apply: (a) a by-catch of 15 % of American plaice is permitted. However, if a fishing vessel is carrying an observer: (i) this maxima shall be 2 900 kg or 15 % of American plaice, whichever the greater; and (ii) a vessel may exceed the maxima referred to in point (i) for by-catches of American plaice retained on board during the first 9 fishing days in the NAFO Regulatory Area, provided that American plaice by-catch represents 15 % or less by the end of that period or when the vessel leaves the NAFO Regulatory Area, whichever occurs first; (b) the first two times that catches of American plaice comprise the largest percentage by weight of the total catch in a haul, such catches shall be considered as incidental catch, but the vessel shall immediately move a minimum of 10 nautical miles from any position of the previous haul throughout the subsequent haul.

This quantity is available to NAFO Contracting Parties that have not been allocated a quota for this stock, including the Union, and in accordance with applicable NAFO measures. If the Union is assigned an ‘Others’ quota, catches under this shared quota shall be reported separately (YEL/N3LNO-OTH). Once the ‘Others’ quota is exhausted, the by-catch limits shall be as follows: a maximum of 1 250 kg or 5 %, whichever is greater.
