The baselines used for this assessment are the abundance and distribution estimates from the 1994 SCANS survey and/or the Cetacean Atlas. These provide the most robust estimate of abundance at an appropriate geographic scale. (3)
The data from the ‘First eight year period in the time series’ for the metric being considered. (3)
There are currently no reference levels or targets in use in the UK against which the state breeding seabird populations can be assessed. Hence, baseline levels were simply taken as the first year of available data: 1969 for breeding seabirds. (3)
There were currently no reference levels or targets in use in the UK against which the state waterbird populations could be assessed. Hence, baseline levels were simply taken as the first year of available data: 1975 for waterbirds. (3)

Biomass reference points are as follows: For Irish Sea Herring, MSY Btrigger is set at Bpa, Celtic Sea herring and northwest of Ireland herring use Bpa. For west of Scotland Herring (VIaN) biomass limits are set at Blim which is the lowest observed biomass. (1)
Both anglerfish stocks are data limited and no reference points have been defined. Trends are detected by y(i, i-1)/y(i-2, i-3, i-4) – survey biomass of the last two years divided by the survey biomass of the previous three years in %. This value gives an indication of how much the biomass of anglerfish species has changed in the last five years. (2)

For Cod stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For Celtic Sea cod FMSY proxy is based on Fmax. MSY Btrigger is considered the lower bound of fluctuation around BMSY. As an initial option, MSY Btrigger is set at Bpa. In the future when there are sufficient observations of SSB fluctuations associated with fishing around FMSY, the MSY Btrigger should be re-estimated to correspond to the lower bound of the range of stock sizes associated with MSY. (2)
For Cuckoo ray abundance, the ratio of the last two years abundance estimates over the preceding five years was used. For population condition, significant increasing or decreasing trends are detected with an intersection union tests as described in Trenkel and Rochet (2009). (5)
For Cuckoo ray the ratio of the last two years abundance estimates over the preceding five years was used (1)
For FMSY, MSY exploitation ratio using catch as a proportion of the total biomass (2)
For Haddock stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For VIa West of Scotland and VIb Rockall Haddock FMSY proxy is based on that of North Sea Haddock and MSY Btrigger is set at Bpa. For Celtic Sea Haddock VIIb-k FMSY proxy is based on Fmax and MSY Btrigger is set at Bpa. MSY reference points are not defined for Irish Sea Haddock. Overall status is based on a “one out all out” approach. (2)
For Herring stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on simulations under different productivity/management regimes for Irish Sea Herring (VIIaN), Celtic Sea herring (VIIaS and VIIghjk), northwest of Ireland Herring (VIaS VIIbc) and Herring in VIaN. (1)
For Whiting stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For VIa West of Scotland and Irish Sea Whiting MSY reference points are not defined and PA reference points are used. For Celtic Sea Whiting MSY Btrigger is set at Bpa. In the future when there are sufficient observations of SSB fluctuations associated with fishing around FMSY, the MSY Btrigger should be re-estimated to correspond to the lower boundary of the range of stock sizes associated with MSY. (2)
For fish stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. All four stocks are data-limited. Consequently no reference points have been set. (2)
For fish stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. FMSY is for western horse mackerel is based on F0.1 from the yield-per-recruit analysis. (1)
For fish stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For Blue Whiting (northeast Atlantic stock) FMSY is based on the evaluation of a management strategy conducted in 2008. MSY Btrigger is set at Bpa. (2)
For fish stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For F it is half of the intrinsic growth rate r, estimated from the surplus production model, for MSY Btrigger, it is half of carrying capacity K, estimated from the surplus production model (2)
For fish stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For West of Scotland and Rockall Saithe the default value for MSY Btrigger is Bpa. FMSY is based on stochastic simulation using hockey-stick stock–recruitment. (2)
For fish stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For boarfish (VI, VII and VIII) FMSY is set at F0.1 proxy. (2)
For fish stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For northeast Atlantic mackerel MSY Btrigger is associated with SSB with high long-term yield and low probability of stock depletion based on management strategy evaluation (ICES, 2008). FMSY is associated with this reference point. (2)
For fish stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. Preliminary investigations undertaken by ICES in 2012 indicate that for an assumed natural mortality of 0.18, an appropriate proxy for FMSY lies within the range of 0.12–0.18. (2)
For fish stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For the east Atlantic and Mediterranean bluefin tuna stock FMSY is set at F0.1. BMSY is set at BF0.1. (2)
For sole stocks around Ireland, FMSY is based on provisional proxies within the range of fishing mortalities consistent with MSY. For VIIa Sole MSY Btrigger defaults to the value of Bpa. FMSY is a provisional proxy based on stochastic simulations. In VIIf-g FMSY is also a provisional proxy based on stochastic simulations. MSY Btrigger is set to Bpa. MSY Btrigger for Sole in VIIh-k is not defined and FMSY is a provisional proxy based on WGCSE 2010 estimate of Fmax. (2)
For stock size indicator, the estimate in the last two years (2010-2011) compared to average of the five previous years (2005-2009) is used. For catch data the entire time series is used. (2)
For the IVa VIa Megrim stock, FMSYis directly estimated from the model and Btrigger is set at 50% of BMSY. As VIb and VIIb-k stocks are data limited no reference points have been set. (2)
