| Main Descriptors | Considered a single stock: Yes Spatial Scale: Regional
Reference year: 2004 |
| 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 Probably Fully exploited. Habitat and Biology Bottom type: Unspecified. Depth zone: Shelf (50 m - 200 m); Slope (200 m - 1000 m); Abyssal ( >1000m). Horizontal distribution: Neritic; Oceanic. Vertical distribution: Pelagic. Geographical Distribution Jurisdictional distribution: Shared between nations Geo References  | | Geographic extent of Atlantic horse mackerel - Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Guinea (between 26° and 10° N)
