Description parameter |
Based on sales data (evidence of incidental capture), it is estimated that anthropogenic mortality is higher than 1.7 % of the best estimate of abundance at the level of mainland Portugal.
|
There is no evidence that the distribution area has decreased.
|
Species with more coastal distribution, with more frequent occurrence between the continental slope and the coastal zone. With the increase of some pressure factors, a decrease in the habitat currently used by this species is expected to occur.
|
There is no evidence of a decrease in the range of the species.
|
There is no evidence of a decrease in the habitat of the species.
|
Values obtained for the polyvalent fleet, more precisely gillnets and trammel nets. Other fleets below 1.7 %.
|
There is a large variability in the size of the population from year to year, which may be related to very high levels of incidental capture.
|
There is no evidence of significant changes in the distribution area for this species.
|
No accidental catch events were recorded in the sampled trips of the different fleets (purse, trawl and polyvalent).
|
The clamp is distributed throughout the Portuguese coast by displaying some concentrations in the northern and southern parts of Portugal, with a lower use of deep sea areas. Based on available data it is assumed that its distribution area will be stable.
|
Due to coastal use and biology of the species, it is assumed that the habitat will fall mainly due to increased pressure factors such as maritime traffic. However, the available data are not sufficient to assess this criterion for the reporting period.
|
Value obtained for the polyvalent fleet, more precisely gillnets and trammel nets. Other fleets below 1.7 %.
|
The current adequate habitat area is much smaller than the potential distribution area and is therefore considered to be ?inappropriate?.
|
Estimated values for the deep-sea longline fleet. No accidental catch events were recorded during the sampled trips from the other fleets.
|
More recent estimates suggest a decrease in the frequency of use of deep-sea and coastal areas. However, the available data are not sufficient to assess D1C5 for the reporting period.
|
Values obtained for the polyvalent fleet, more precisely gillnets and trammel nets. Other fleets below 1.7 %.
