GES description
The Fishing mortality rate of populations of commercially-exploited species is at or below th elevels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield (MSY), established according to scientific advice.
The Spawning Stock Biomass (SSB) of populations of commercially-exploited species show stable trend to be above the biomass levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yield.
The age and size distribution of individuals in the populations of commercially-exploited species is indicative of a healthy population (stock). The age and size structure shall include a high proportion of old/large individuals and limited adverse effects of exploitation on genetic diversity.
