This Notice prohibits fishing for northern albacore tuna by Irish sea-

2025 but allows retention on board and landing of northern albacore

remains open for vessels that have been authorised to fish for northern

albacore tuna where the authorisation does not permit the vessel to fish

by means of “Pair – Pelagic” fishing gear.
