GES description
D3C1 Fiskeridödligheten för populationer av kommersiellt nyttjade arter ligger under nivåer som garanterar en maximal hållbar avkastning (MSY). God miljöstatus: När alla populationer i respektive bedömningsområde klarar de populationsspecifika tröskelvärdena. Bedömningen sker per population utifrån det kriterium som visar sämst status. D3C1 The fishing mortality rate of populations of commersially-exploited species are below levels which can produce maximum sustainable yield (MSY). GES:When all populations in the assessment area achieve the population specific threshold values.Each species is assessed on the basis of the criterion which show the worst status.
D3C2 Lekbeståndets biomassa för populationer av kommersiellt nyttjade arter ligger över nivåer för biomassa som kan ge maximal hållbar avkastning. God miljöstatus:se under D3C1. D3C2 The spawning stock biomass of populations of commersially-exploited species are above biomass levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield. GES:See under D3C1

Justification for non-use of criterion
Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements
All Swedish determinations of GES are implemented in a regulation (HVMFS 2012:18) issued from the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. From the update made in 2018 only criteria supported with at least one indicator are included in the regulation. Furthermore, only indicators underpinned with a regular monitoring programme are included. Reference levels and tools for a quantitative assessment of age and size distribution at population level is still missing, and development from ICES is needed. The article 8 assessment include some descriptions on society level.
