Target code/description
BLK-BG-D1C3-Target: Maintaining the population characteristics of representative fish species in the assessment areas, according to MSFD, stable or higher than the defined threshold values. Target is 90% of species to achieve GES.
BLK-BG-D1C4-Target: Maintaining or increasing the distributional range (and distributional pattern within the scope) of representative fish species and groups of fish species in the assessment areas according to MSFD. No thresholds yet set due to lack of data.
BLK-BG-D1C2-COASTAL-ABUN-Target: Maintaining or increasing the abundance/ biomass of representative fish species and species groups in the assessment areas according to the MSFD and defined thresholds. Target is 90% of species to achieve GES.
1.2.1: The distributional range of the species (%) does not decrease below threshold value (50%).
1.3: The age of the first maturity stage does not decrease below 30% for: Squalus acanthias Merlangus merlangius euxinus
1.1.2: The mortality rate per species from incidental by-catch is below: -Squalus acanthias, 0.08 -Merlangus merlangius euxinus, 0.40
1.2.2: The spawning stock abundance trend should not decrease comparing to last assessment (2006-2011).
