Integration rule description for parameters | No integration rule has been applied |
No integration
|
For the species evaluated according to a literature review, no quantitative indicator is operational, so the integration rule is 'Not relevant'. For other species, when the evaluation of criterion D1C2 is obtained by calculating the parameter 'Evolution of abundance', this parameter directly informs the criterion without an integration rule. Finally, for the species assessed in descriptor 3, the assessment of criterion D1C2 is obtained by integrating criterion D3C1 and/or criterion D3C2 for the stock in question. The integration method used is the 'One Out All Out' (OOAO).

For species in the demersal fish group, only criterion D1C2 on the abundance of fish populations could be quantitatively reported, based on an indicator of recovery of the abundance of populations of fish species sensitive to fishing pressure (FC1 - OSPAR). The assessment obtained for criterion D1C2 therefore provides direct information on the overall status of the species.
For species in the demersal fish group, only criterion D1C2 on the abundance of fish populations could be quantitatively reported, based on an indicator of recovery of the abundance of populations of fish species sensitive to fishing pressure (FC1 - OSPAR). The assessment obtained for criterion D1C2 therefore provides direct information on the overall status of the species. For the common sea angel, none of the criteria could be provided. However, where literature references were available that could provide qualitative information on the overall status of a species, then the result of this overall assessment was retained without specifying the status of any of the criteria. For species in the pelagic group, only criterion D1C2 on fish population abundance could be quantitatively reported, based on the results of stock assessments of commercial species. The assessment obtained for criterion D1C2 therefore provides direct information on the overall status of the species. For basking and porbeagle sharks, none of the criteria could be provided. However, where literature references were available that could qualitatively inform the overall status of a species, then the result of this global assessment was retained without specifying the status of any of the criteria. For species in the pelagic group, only criterion D1C2 on fish population abundance could be quantitatively reported, based on the results of stock assessments of commercial species. The assessment obtained for criterion D1C2 therefore provides direct information on the overall status of the species. For basking shark and porbeagle, none of the criteria could be provided. However, where literature references were available that could qualitatively inform the overall status of a species, then the result of this overall assessment was retained without specifying the status of any of the criteria. The assessment of the status of a given species is carried out by effectively integrating the 3 status criteria D1C2, D1C3 and D1C4 according to the "One-out all out" methodology in line with the Nature Directives. Thus, if one of the criteria is not in good condition for a given species, then that species is considered to be in poor condition. The assessment of the status of a given species is carried out by integrating the three status criteria D1C2, D1C3 and D1C4 according to the 'One-out all out' methodology, in line with the Habitats and Nature Directives. Thus, if one of the criteria is not in good condition for a species, then this species is considered to be in poor condition. When criterion D1C2 is the only one assessed, then the assessment obtained for the criterion directly informs the overall status of the species. The assessment of the status of a given species is carried out by integrating the three status criteria D1C2, D1C3 and D1C4 according to the 'One-out all out' methodology, in line with the Nature Directives. Thus, if one of the criteria is not in good condition for a species, then this species is considered to be in poor condition. |
