In the data, of the pelagic species, sprat is indicated with a 400% increase in total landings. It has a value of €5 million. There is quite a discussion at the moment about the sprat fishery and calls for controls on size limits for boats or a total moratorium. Does Ms Bocquel have any concerns about sustainability when she see a species like sprat and the increase in catch, particularly as it is a non-quota species and there is no associated TAC?
