(4)By Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/111note, based on Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the Commission has adopted urgent measures to reduce the fishing mortality caused by pelagic vessels targeting spawning aggregations of sea bass. A restrictive limit has been introduced by Council Regulation (EU) 2015/523note to reduce the mortality from recreational anglers. Scientific advice has indicated that a combination of limiting the catches and an increase in the minimum conservation reference size would be more effective in reducing the fishing mortality.
