Abstract
Stock status is a key parameter for evaluating the sustainability of fishery resources and developing
corresponding management plans. However, the majority of stocks are not assessed, often as a result of
insufficient data and a lack of resources needed to execute formal stock assessments. The working
group involved in this publication focused on two approaches to estimating fisheries status: one based
on single-stock status, and the other based on ecosystem production.JRC.G.4-Maritime affair
