Indicator: Proportion of fish stocks sustainably exploited
Indicator
Tag: env_bio5
Indicator abbreviated name
Definition: Percentage of fish stocks evaluated using a full analytical stock assessment method and for which the estimated fishing mortality (F) is inferior or equal to the fishing pressure that gives the maximum sustainable yield in the long term (Fmsy)
Indicator definition
Unit: % of fish stocks sustainably exploited
Indicator unit
Spatial coverage: EU waters including North-East Atlantic and adjacent seas (FAO area 27) and the Mediterranean and Black Sea region (FAO area 37)
Geographic coverage of the indicator
Time coverage: 2020
Time coverage of the indicator from first year available to last year available
Update frequency: Every year
Frequency at which the indicator is updated
DPSIR: State
Indicator type within the Drivers, Pressures, State, Impacts, Responses framework

Other policies that use the indicator
Method: 1) Run a benchmark assessment for the stocks of interest to identify a model to perform stock assessment and set the parameters. Derive the reference point for (among others) the fishing pressure that gives the maximum sustainable yield in the long term (Fmsy) . Work is carried out by a dedicated Expert Working Group for each stock at either the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) / Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) / General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) 2) Run the benchmarked stock assessment model annually for each stock. Work is carried out by Expert Working Groups in charge at either ICES / STECF / GFCM. 3) Publish stock assessment outputs including fishing mortality in scientific reports. 3) Export estimated fishing mortalities (F) from ICES / STECF / GFCM databases 4) Compare estimated F outputs to associated Fmsy and count the number of stocks for which F>Fmsy and the number of stocks for which F ≤ Fmsy 5) Estimate the percentage of stocks for which F ≤ Fmsy Details of the protocol are presented in Annex I of the report mentioned in the reference section.
