Target description |
Ensure that the exploitation intensity of commercially exploited fish populations does not exceed safe biological limits and preserves the structure of the Baltic Sea food web. In the paper report “NATIONAL PROGRAMME OF MEASURES FOR 2017-2023 TO ACHIEVE AND / OR MAINTAIN THE GOOD STATUS OF THE BALTIC SEA ENVIRONMENT” (2017), this objective is divided into two separate objectives:
No. 1: Ensure that the exploitation intensities of commercially exploited fish populations do not exceed safe biological limits;
No. 2: Preserve the structure of the Baltic Sea food web (optimal diversity, size and abundance of organisms) so as not to disrupt the transmission of nutrients in the food chain.

Target assessment description |
According to the values of the indicator “Fishing Mortality Rate” calculated from the data for the period 2009-2017, the environmental condition of the marine area was not good in terms of cod (Gadus morhua) species, and good in terms of herring (Clupea harengus) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus).
