The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) of Ireland has published a new Fisheries Information Notice (FIN) permitting the commercial fishing of Spurdog in North Western Waters. This follows a recovery in the Spurdog population, leading to the end of a five-year ban on the species. The notice outlines regulations for fishing, including catch limits, a maximum conservation size of 100cm, and compliance with the landing obligation for Spurdog under 100cm in length. The notice is available on the SFPA's website.
