Description:
Habitat: Benthopelagic
Main role: Prey
Trophic level: 3,4
Diet: They prey on zooplankton and fish larvae.
Threats: Highly commercial. Herring stocks collapsed in the 1970s due to overfishing. Subsequent poor recruitment led to a complete fisheries closure in 1977, after which the stock eventually recovered and fisheries reopened. Herring is closely monitored and managed throughout the North Sea to ensure stock survival. Herring is also sensitive to pollution.
MSP Challenge 2050:
Herring are caught by all fishing fleets, but mostly by industrial and pelagic trawl.
