The Baltic Sea advice package comprises 21 stocks, including two North Sea herring stocks and advice on Baltic salmon and trout.
There are also 21 stocks included in the deep-sea stock package. These stocks cover a distribution area from the Arctic to as far south as Atlantic Iberian waters.

Further advice on four deep-sea stocks exclusive to Iceland will be released on 12 June 2014, along with Arctic and North-Western stocks.
