Pollack is an important species for recreational sea angling and supports valuable tourism activities in many coastal communities
Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Timmy Dooley has signed a national bye-law to support the long-term sustainability of pollack stocks in waters around Ireland.

The Pollack Fishing Conservation Bye-Law (No. 1028 of 2026) gives national effect to EU measures relating to recreational pollack fishing, as set out in EU Regulation 2026/249 on Fishing Opportunities.
