Description [Targets] |
Monitoring of fishing mortality ratio F/Fmsy and B/Bmsy ratio (the current adult biomass relative to the adult biomass that would provide the maximum sustainable yield) of main target demersal species. |
GES evaluation is based on the fishing mortality indexes that have been calculated for certain species that are main targets or are frequently caught in the bottom trawl fishery and purse-seine fishery.
Estimates of F/Fmsy ratios for the main target species of the bottom trawl fishery have been considered as fishing mortality proxies and consequently as indicators of the level of fishing pressure. Also, Estimates of fishing over total mortality (exploitation rate, E) for the main target species of the purse-seine fishery have been considered as fishing mortality proxies and consequently as indicators of the level of fishing pressure. |
GES evaluation is based on biomass indicators that have been calculated for certain species that are main targets or are frequently caught in the bottom trawl fishery. As SSB estimates are not available the ratio of total biomass over Bmsy has been used as proxy for SSB trends.
SSB estimates have been obtained for a series of years through the analysis of fisheries data but not thresholds have been set due to lack of a stock-recruitment relationship. |
