GES description
Sprat: ICES recommended Fmsy level (0.26 in 2018). Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species.
Herring: ICES recommended FMSY level (0.21 in the Gulf of 2018, 0.22 in other marine areas). Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species.
Cod: ICES recommended FMSY level (not defined in 2018). Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species.
The perch population size indicator is above the regional threshold for the area: 0.07 in the Gulf of Bothnia, no negative trend in the Bothnian Sea, trend in the Archipelago Sea of 0,18, an increasing trend in the Gulf of Finland. Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species.
Sprat: MSY Btrigger level recommended by ICES (570,000 t in 2018). Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species.
Herring: MSY Btrigger level recommended by ICES (283 180 t in the Gulf of 2018 and 600 000 t in other sea areas). Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species.
Cod: MSY Btrigger level recommended by ICES (not defined in 2018). Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species.
Salmon smolt production is > 75% of the spawning river production potential: in the Tornionjoki and Simojoki. Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species.
Habitat in the Bothnian Bay: The average growth rate of spawning parent fish is decreasing and the proportion of small individuals in spawning fish is decreasing. Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species. Commercial fish stocks are first assessed by species and then the total estimate for the Finnish marine area as an average of the status of each species.
