GES description D3 Commercial fish and shellfish
GES description D3C1 Fishing mortality rate (F) (3.1, 3.1.1, 3.1.2)
The harvesting of the fish stocks is within the environmental carrying capacity. If the maximum sustainable yield (MSY, designated with Fmsy or F0.1) values are unknown, as an indicator will be used the ratio between catch and biomass index.
3.1. Horse mackrel - HMM - Maintaining GES when fishing mortality for horse mackrell is not increasing.
GES description D3C2 Spawning stock biomass (SSB) (3.2, 3.2.1, 3.2.2)
The spawning stock biomass (SSB) of the fish stocks is at level, providing maximum sustainable yields (MSY). If the value of the SSB is unknown, as an indicator will be used the biomass indices, derived from theoretical data.
GES description D3C3 Population age/size distribution (3.3, 3.3.1, 3.3.3, 3.3.4)
Each stock comprises a high percentage of adult fish of the respective size structure
GES description 3.3.2 Mean maximum length across all fish species found in research vessel
