Headline Indicators

5.1 Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels This indicator measures the sustainability of the world's marine capture fisheries by their abundance. A fish stock of which abundance is at or greater than the level, that can produce the maximum sustainable yield (0.8 of B_MSY) is classified as biologically sustainable. In contrast, when abundance falls below 0.8 of B_MSY level, the stock is considered biologically...
