Target description
Target: Target F to be at levels which aim to restore and maintain populations of harvested species at least at levels which can produce MSY by 2020, for all stocks. Where stocks are managed with an agreed management plan, which is consistent with MSY in the long term, target F as specified by the management plan should be adhered to. Notes: The targets for MSFD Cycle 2 have been aligned with the criteria outlined in the Commission Decision 2017/848. Where targets from MSFD Cycle 1 do not align with the Criteria these have been discontinued and have been reported as ‘Target no longer needed’.
Target: Size and age structure as measured by selected indicators reflect populations which are sustainably fished in the medium to long term and incorporate scientific uncertainty and natural variability. Notes: The targets for MSFD Cycle 2 have been aligned with the criteria outlined in the Commission Decision 2017/848. Where targets from MSFD Cycle 1 do not align with the Criteria these have been discontinued and have been reported as ‘Target no longer needed’. There was no Target timescale date specified in MSFD Cycle 1 for this target. The Timescale date 205012 has been entered to allow the Schema be submitted and processed without errors. Under no circumstances should this date be attributed to the now abandoned target.
The Fishing mortality rate of populations of commercially exploited species is at or below levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield.
The Fishing mortality rate of populations of commercially exploited species is at or below levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield.
The Fishing mortality rate of populations of commercially exploited species is at or below levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield.
The Spawning Stock Biomass of populations of commercially-exploited species are above biomass levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yield.
The Spawning Stock Biomass of populations of commercially-exploited species are above biomass levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yield.
The Spawning Stock Biomass of populations of commercially-exploited species are above biomass levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yield.
