  • Celtic Sea Sprat
  • NEA Mackerel

Objectives

Reference points

Targets:

Achieve some central tendency, or fluctuate around without trend, e.g.

  • \(F_{MSY}\)
  • \(B_{MSY}\)

Limits:

Avoid with high probability e.g.

  • \(B_{lim}\)
  • \(F_{lim}\)

\(B_{lim}\)

\(B_{lim}\)

You do not want to drop below a critical biomass level

  • E.g. which would take you half a generation time to recover from

  • Can be estimated for any

    • stock
    • assessment method with an explicit or implicit production fucntion

Objectives

Social and Economic

  • \(MSY\) maximum sustainable yield
  • \(MEY\) maximum economic yield
  • \(MSNY\) maximum sustainable nutrient yield
  • \(IAAV\) Variability in yield

Objectives

Ecosystem

  • MFSD
    • Descriptor 3 Criteria 3 of GES ‘age and size distribution that is indicative of a healthy stock’
    • \(ABI_{MSY}\) age-based indicator to monitor age structure relative to the equilibrium age structure at \(F_{MSY}\) (Griffiths et al. 2023)
  • Predator needs
  • Community structure
  • Spatial

Summary Statistics

  • Safety
  • State
  • Yield
