Trophic level trends in the North Sea Fisheries, percentage of the commercial fish species harvested within Safe Biological Limits, total values of landed fish of commercially important species, estimations of discards in fisheries.
Description :
The total values of landed fish of commercially important species are an indication of the economic importance of fisheries for the fishing ports in the SAIL sub-regions. The trophic level of fisheries and the proportion of assessed stocks that are within safe biological limits are indications of the sustainability of fisheries. Estimations of discards provide an indication of the efficiency and sustainability of a particular fishery. The last three parameters also give an indication of the impact of a given fishery on the marine environment and ecosystem. For a description of all measurements covered by this indicator please refer to the parameters filing cards.
