| GES description | D1C1 Mortality rate from incidental by-catch | Reduction in abundance/biomass of accidental by-catch per species and fishing métiers. |
The mortality rate per species from incidental by-catch is below levels which threaten the species, such that its long-term viability is ensure. The mortality rate per species from incidental by-catch is below the threshold values: |
| GES description | D1C2 Population abundance (1.2, 1.2.1) | Abundance of populations of non-commercially exploited fish species is high and stable or increases. Each of the representative fish populations must be in condition, corresponding to the individual targets, and the assessment should include a statistically significant part of the groups of species subject to monitoring. |
The spawning stock abundance of the species is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures, such that its long-term viability is ensured. |
| GES description | D1C3 Population demographic characteristics (1.3, 1.3.1) | Population characteristics of representative species and group of species are not adversely affected by anthropogenic pressure. Each of the of representative species must be in condition, corresponding to the individual targets, and the assessment should include a statistically significant part of the groups of species subject to monitoring. |
The age oft the first maturity stage of the species are indicative of a healthy population which is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures. |
| GES description | D1C4 Population distributional range and pattern (1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3) | Distributional range of non-commercially exploited fish species and group of species in assessment areas according to MSFD is not adversely affected by anthropogenic pressure and is in line with prevailing physiographic, geographic and climatic conditions. Each of the of representative species must be in condition, corresponding to the individual targets, and the assessment should include a statistically significant part of the groups of species subject to monitoring. |
The distributional range of the species is not adversely affected due to anthropogenic pressures, such that its long-term viability is ensured. The distributional range of the species (%) does not decrease below threshold value. |
| GES description | D1C5 Habitat for the species | The habitat of the species has the necessary extent and condition to support the different stages in the life history of the species and group of species. Each of the habitats must be in the condition, corresponding to the individual needs of the species. |

| Justification for non-use of criterion | D1C1: Lack of data for coastal waters D1C4: Lack of data for marine waters D1C5: Lack of data for all MRUs |
||
| Justification for delay in setting EU/regional requirements | D1C1: Threshold values are not established due to lack of data. D1C4: Threshold values are not established due to lack of data. D1C5: Threshold values are not established due to lack of data. |
