  abstract = {{T}he landing obligation recently adopted by the {E}uropean {U}nion's ({EU}) {C}ommon {F}isheries {P}olicy aims to eradicate discards in {EU} fisheries. {T}he objective of this paper is to investigate the potential social and economic impacts of the discard ban in {E}uropean small-scale fisheries ({SSF}) and the critical factors for its successful implementation. {A}n exhaustive systematic literature review and a stakeholder consultation were carried out in order to (i) collect detailed information about current knowledge on discards in {EU} {SSF} and gauge stakeholder perceptions about potential impacts of the discard ban in {E}uropean {SSF}, (ii) examine the capacity of the {SSF} industry to implement the discard ban, and (iii) explore the limits and feasibility of implementing such a measure. {T}he results of this study show that little attention has been given by the scientific community to discards in {EU} {SSF}. {I}ndeed, the systematic literature review shows that this problem is relatively unexplored in the {EU}. {I}n addition, the effectiveness of a discard ban in industrial fisheries is still unclear, mainly because discard data are not systematically collected by fisheries authorities. {S}takeholders mostly perceive that the new landing obligation was developed with industrial fisheries in mind and that compliance with the landing obligation in {EU} {SSF} will be difficult to achieve without high economic costs, such as those related to the handling and storage of unwanted fish on board.},
