- 2026 February 26, Tara Russell, “Waitrose to halt the sale of mackerel because of overfishing”, in The Guardian[1], archived from the original on 26 February 2026, page 9:
- Last September, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) recommended that mackerel fishing in the north-east Atlantic be cut by 70% to help replenish numbers to a sustainable level after overexploitation. […] In December, the UK agreed to reduce mackerel fishing by 48%, well short of the cut the ICES had called for.
