9 MSY ranges set out alternative fishing levels either side of the traditionally understood MSY point value that ICES has deemed to be sustainable in certain circumstances. They are intended to allow negotiators to set TACs that simultaneously bring more stocks to sustainable fishing levels in mixed fisheries; provide the optimum mix of quota for the stocks caught together; and minimise under-fishing of economically important target stocks.
