Figure

Landings and proportion of landings of commercial fish and shellfish for which stock assessments were conducted between 2016-2020 per marine region

The figure shows the proportion of commercial European fish landings assessed per regional sea distinguishing between assessed and non-assessed stocks. For the assessed stocks a distinction is made between (i) landings of stocks for which information is available to determine Good Environmental Status (GES) for Fishing mortality (F) and/or Spawning Stock Biomass (SSB) and (ii) landings for stocks for which information is not available to determine GES for F and/or SSB.

Additional information

• Based on data available in the period 2016-2020; data for the North-East Atlantic Ocean and Baltic Sea are mainly from 2019; data for the Mediterranean and Black seas are mainly from 2018 (not all stocks have annual assessments).
• A distinction is made between (1) landings for assessed stocks for which adequate information is available to determine GES for F and SSB, (2) landings for assessed stocks for which insufficient information is available to determine GES for F or SSB, and (3) assessed stocks for which the available information on both F and SSB is insufficient to determine GES. 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.

Figure State of European commercial fish and shellfish stocks (for which stock assessments were conducted between 2016-2020), in relation to the Good Environmental Status criteria for fishing mortality and reproductive capacity per marine region This figure shows the state of the assessed commercially exploited fish and shellfish stocks per European marine region, for which assessments were conducted in 2016-2020. Stocks for which adequate information is available to determine Good Environmental Status (GES) for fishing mortality (F) and/or reproductive capacity (spawning stock biomass (SSB)) are included (i.e. Z, total number of stocks; Y, total number of assessed stocks; and X, number of stocks for which adequate information is available to determine GES on the basis of these two criteria). A distinction is made between stocks (1) in good status based on both fishing mortality and reproductive capacity; (2) in good status based on only one of the criteria - fishing mortality or reproductive capacity (either because one of the two criteria in not in good status or because there is only one available criteria, and it is in good status); and (3) not in good status based on both fishing mortality and reproductive capacity (may include cases where only one criteria is available and it is not in good status).
