EU fisheries ministers agreed higher catch limits for several Baltic Sea fish stocks for 2027. These changes include a 44% increase in permitted sprat catches and a 71% increase in central Baltic herring catches. The agreement maintains restrictions designed to support cod recovery while offering additional opportunities for the fishing industry.
