| 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. |

Water Area OverviewBlueskin - South Africa Eastern (Southern Mozambique to Kwazulu Natal) Aq Res Struct Biological Stock: No Bio Assess Uncertainty: Low Assess Models Type: Size-structured Spawner biomass per recruit models, Yield -per -recruit models Catches (2009): 6t, % change from preceding year: + 82 %. An operational management procedure has been established for the evaluation of all linefish stocks identifying biological reference points for classification of stock status, preferred stock assessment models given paucity of data (Spawner biomass per recruit models) and assessment review period based on half life span of the species (Griffiths, et al., 1999). Most species show substantial declines in CPUE, and stock assessments on selected species (Yield -per -recruit models – management reference points utilize SB/R) indicate below threshold of SB/R<25%, thus collapsed status. Measure of abundance: CPUE Management Management unit: Yes Sources Report of the FOURTH SESSION OF THE SOUTH WEST INDIAN OCEAN FISHERIES COMMISSION. Mombasa, Kenya, 23–25 September 2009.
