• Not all stocks have annual assessments. In most cases 2019 is the most recent year for which status can be assessed, for others it is assumed that the most recently assessed status is applicable until a new assessment is conducted.
• Under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), individual stocks may be considered in more than one ecoregion. For this analysis, stocks are assigned to one ecoregion, considered to be most important to the stock and fishery.
• As assessments are carried out in a multiannual cycle within the Mediterranean Sea, the number of stocks included for this region depends on the period covered. Total number of stocks is not given for the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions, since these are not biologically defined in the region.
• The proportion of landings for which stock assessments were conducted between 2016-2020 can be seen here: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/figures/total-catch-in-ices-and-gfcm-fishing-regions-of-europe-in-7
