The Sea Fisheries (Amendment) Regulations 2023

These Regulations make adjustments to the level of European seabass that may be caught within British fishery limits, as specified in Article 10 of Council Regulation (EU) 2020/123 (EUR 2020/123), both as by-catch and as a targeted species by commercial fishing vessels. These Regulations also adjust the dates of the fishing seasons for recreational fisheries for European seabass contained in that Article so that the fishing seasons for recreational fisheries are aligned with the fishing seasons for commercial fishing activity.
