The fish listed in Annexes II, IV and V of the Habitats Directive has not been included in the list because there is no data to characterise and assess their coastal components. The GES assessment has been carried out for all ABI_PT_AA_CONTAC_AG_CONTAC_ACON_AG_CONT_AG_CONTAC_ACONF_CONTIN_C areas, because it is considered that this is the environmentally relevant scale for this species group as proposed in Commission Decision (EU) 2017/848. In this case, and for all species except P. erythrorinus, S. hepatus, S. cantharus, the evaluation area coincides with their respective (preferred) distribution area in national waters.

In the case of deep-sea fish, information was mainly used for the IPMA crustacean campaign, the series of which starts in 1997. This campaign takes place only in the south-western and southern parts of the continent (ABI_PT_AAG_CONTAC_AG_CONT_ACON_AG_CONT_B), so the reported information refers only to these areas. However, all species have a wider distribution and the information presented and their assessments are expected to reflect the population trend on our coast. The assessment of the status of each species has thus been integrated at the level of the whole Portuguese coast to assess GES, since all areas are considered to be ecologically relevant for this species group as proposed in Commission Decision (EU) 2017/848.

In this case, and for all species except A. sphyraena, G. argenteus, Lepidtrimla spp., the assessment area coincides with their respective (preferred) distribution area in national waters.

GES was integrated at the level of the species group only when the estimated number of species was equal or higher than 3.
