This figure shows the 2018 landings of commercially exploited fish and shellfish stocks per EU marine region, and the proportions of landings for which stock assessments were conducted in 2015-2019 (not all stocks have annual assessments). See the related Excel File for extra details.

Additional information

A distinction is made between the (1) landings for assessed stocks for which adequate information is available to determine whether both the GES criteria for F and SSB are met, (2) landings for assessed stocks for which adequate information is only available to determine whether the GES criteria for F or SSB is met, and (3) assessed stocks for which the available information on F and SSB is insufficient to determine if any of the relevant GES criteria are met. GES criteria refer to two (F and SSB) out of three criteria (the third cannot currently be calculate at the EU level) defining the ‘good environmental status’ (GES) of populations of commercial fish and shellfish species. GES is the objective of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive and needed to be achieved in 2020. These two criteria are met when F and SSB are compatible with having fish/shellfish population biomass levels above those capable of producing maximum sustainable yield (MSY). For further information, see the Methodology section, on how this distinction is made, and European Commission Decision 2017/848/EU on criteria and methodological standards on GES of marine waters.

Europe Seas The present dataset compiles the marine regions and subregions listed in Article 4 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), together with other surrounding seas of Europe. The MSFD marine regions and subregions map was developed to support DG Environment and EU Member States in their implementation of the MSFD. It represents the current state of understanding of the marine regions and subregions and is subject to amendment in light of any new information which may be produced.

External Data Spec Catch statistics (ICES) Annual nominal catches of more than 200 species of fish and shellfish in the Northeast Atlantic region are officially submitted by 20 ICES member countries. ICES has been gathering and publishing fisheries statistics since 1904. The current data is collected and coordinated in collaboration with Statistical Office of the European Communities ( EUROSTAT) . The data sources are the national statistical offices, in some countries the collection and compilation of fisheries statistics are handled by specialized organizations.
