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.
