| Main Descriptors | Considered a single stock: No
Spatial Scale: Sub-Regional
Reference year: 2008 |
| Considered a single stock: A group of individuals in a species occupying a well defined spatial range independent of other stocks of the same species. It can be affected by random dispersal movements and directed migrations due to seasonal or reproductive activity. |
| Spatial Scale: Spatial scale contains a standard term such as Global, Regional (e.g. for the whole Atlantic), sub-regional (e.g. for a part of the Atlantic), national, local (for sub-national levels). |
| Considered a management unit: An aquatic resource or fishery is
declared as [Fishery] Management Unit if it is
effectively the focus for the application of selected
management methods and measures, within the broader
framework of a management system. According to the FAO
Glossary for Responsible Fishing, "a Fishery Management
Unit (FMU) is a fishery or a portion of a fishery
identified in a Fishery Management Plan (FMP) relevant
to the FMP's management objectives." FMU's may be
organised around fisheries biological, geographic,
economic, technical, social or ecological dimensions ,
and the makeup and attribute of a fishery management
unit depends mainly on the FMP's management
objectives. |
| Jurisdictional distribution: Jurisdictional qualifier (e.g.
"shared", "shared - highly migratory") of the aquatic
resource related with its spatial distribution. |
| Environmental group: Classification of the aquatic
resource according to the environmental group (e.g.
pelagic invertebrate, or demersal fish) to which the
species belong. |
| Reference Year: The Reference Year is the last year considered in the stock assessment and/or fishery status. |
| | | | | | Biological State and Trend Fully exploited Habitat and Biology Climatic zone: Temperate. Depth zone: Coastal (0 m - 50 m); Shelf (50 m - 200 m). Horizontal distribution: Neritic.

Assessment Assessment Model Type: Age-structured Integrated Catch at Age (ICA) Overall Assessment Results Mixed fishery. ICA assessment should be taken with caution given the short time series available. Increasing trend in the estimates of SSB since 2004. Fishing mortality high but at a lower stage since 2004 Scientific Advice Harvested sustainably, operating above but close to an optimal yield level, with no expected room for further expansion.
