	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of climate change on North Sea cod losing sustainability status.
	tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
	uin	HL17843
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>In its most recent advice, the International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES) assesses that the North Sea cod stock has been subject to both increased fishing pressure and reduced recruitment levels. This combination of effects has led to the reduced stock status. There is no clear cause of the low recruitment in 2018 although a number of factors including the size of adult spawning stock and environmental variability are known to affect recruitment success. The Government is committed to ensuring our fish stocks are healthy and UK fisheries management is sustainable for future generations.</p><p> </p><p>The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification is an industry led initiative to reassure consumers as to the sustainability of the fish they eat. This is not organised nor administered by the Government, but by the MSC.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 08/10/2019 14:20:35 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
