Working Group - Committee	Tasks
ICES
Working Group on Mixed Fisheries Advice for the North Sea (WGMIXFISH-ADVICE, WGMIXFISH-METHODS)	Using multi-fleet and fish stock forecast simulations, WGMIXFISH evaluates incompatibilities among single species catch quotas (TAC) within a "mixed fisheries" context; those being fisheries that catch several species simultaneously, as is the case in the bottom trawl fisheries of the North Sea. The advice produced by the group helps policy makers to identify stock quotas that are likely to be filled first ("choke species"), resulting in partially unfulfilled quotas for remaining stocks.
Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Stocks in the North Sea and Skagerrak (WGNSSK)	The WGNSSK working group provides advice on single species catch quotas (TAC). Using historical information on catches and survey indices, quantitative models are used to assess the current population size and forecast future conditions.
