Integration rule description for criteria
OOAO between the fishing mortality and spawning stock biomass:
http://stateofthebalticsea.[…]1-2016_pre-publication.pdf.
Assessment was based on 2 criteria: D3C1 and D3C2 assessed separately for each stock. For fish stock to achieve GES both of the criteria need to be in GES.
For the status assessment per stock, the evaluation results for the fishing mortality (criterion D3C1) and the spawning stock biomass (criterion D3C2) are integrated according to the "one out -all out" principle. An assessment of the overall state of fish stocks can currently not be carried out.
For the status assessment, evaluation results for fishing mortality (criterion D3C1) and spawning stock biomass (criterion D3C2) are integrated per stock according to the "one out - all out" principle. An assessment of the overall state of fish stocks can currently not be carried out.
No integration rule has been applied.
