GES description |
The fishing mortality rate for populations of commercially exploited species is at or below levels that can produce the maximum sustainable yield (MSY).
|
The spawning biomass for populations of species exploited by industry is above the levels that can produce the maximum sustainable yield.
|
The age and size distribution of individuals in the populations of species exploited for occupational use is indicative of a healthy population. This includes a high proportion of old / large individuals and limited negative effects on genetic diversity as a result of exploitation.

The regulation of fisheries and the setting of maximum levels for maximum fishing pressure and minimum spawning biomass are carried out through the EU's Common Fisheries Policy on the basis of advice from ICES.
|
The regulation of fisheries and the setting of maximum levels for maximum fishing pressure and minimum spawning biomass is done through the EU's Common Fisheries Policy on the basis of advice from ICES.
|
There is insufficient knowledge of age and size distribution (D3C3) among the commercially exploited species, and therefore there is not a sufficient basis for assessing when good environmental status is achieved. Furthermore, the regulation of fisheries and the setting of limit values for maximum fishing pressure and minimum spawning biomass are carried out through the EU's Common Fisheries Policy on the basis of advice from ICES.
