Each of these regional ecosystem-books includes:
An ecosystem overview;
A description of the human impacts on the ecosystem;
Answers to specific requests;
Assessments and advice; and
Stock summaries.
The fisheries advice includes some reflection on mixed fisheries issues in fisheries management. For those stocks for which mixed fisheries issues are known to be minor the advice is given on a stock basis. This applies mainly to pelagic stocks.
For most demersal stocks or stocks where mixed fisheries are known to be important the advice is based on an identification of the critical stocks and the overall advice is based on the requirements for those stocks. As a consequence of the need to take a fisheries perspective, the advice for all stocks is now given in the area overview section.
Book 11 Technical Services.
Services are provided by the ACOM chair (with the assistance of the Vice Chairs)1 and/or the Secretariat under
the oversight of ACOM. A Service is the provision of scientific information or a process that produces scientific information that managers and
policy makers can use The service may include recommendations made by individual or groups of scientists, but it does
not include a recommendation on behalf of ICES (except to reiterate a recommendation previously agreed by ACOM or
former ICES Advisory Committees).
