answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2024 answer text <p>Two shark species are relevant here. The UK agrees an annual Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for British fishing boats for Spurdog, having reopened the fishery in 2023 following ICES advice. In 2023, the UK and EU agreed a total TAC of 15,453 t, with a UK quota of 2,781 t in the North Sea TAC management area and 4,825 t in the Western TAC management area. For 2024, the UK and EU agreed a total TAC of 15,900 t, with a UK quota of 2,862 t in the North Sea TAC management area and 5,809 t in the Western TAC management area.</p><p> </p><p>The Total Allowable Catch level for Blue Shark is set by The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT), and that TAC is allocated as quotas to the parties. 2021 was the first year that the UK had access to a quota for this species, which we use exclusively for bycatch. The UK’s quota was 9 tonnes in 2021, 32 tonnes in 2022 and 2023, and is 25 tonnes for 2024.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 29/01/2024 12:04:15 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
