| Main Descriptors | Considered a single stock: Yes
Spatial Scale: National
Management unit: Yes
Reference year: 2012
|
| 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 Fcur/F0.1: Ratio between the observed fishing mortality coefficient during the last year of the series and F0.1. Fcur/FMSY: Ratio between the observed fishing mortality coefficient during the last year of the series and the coefficient that would give a maximum sustainable yield over the long term. Bcur/B0.1: Ratio between the estimated biomass for the last year and the biomass corresponding to F0.1. Bcur/BMSY: Ratio between the estimated biomass for the last year and the biomass corresponding to FMSY. Unless otherwise indicated, the indicators were based on the Schaefer dynamic production stock assessment model. Habitat and Biology Climatic zone: Temperate. Bottom type: Hard bottom; Soft bottom clean sand. Depth zone: Coastal (0 m - 50 m); Shelf (50 m - 200 m); Slope - Upperslope (200 m - 500 m). Vertical distribution: Demersal.

Assessment Assessment year: 2013 The CECAF Working Groups have adopted the following Biological Reference Points (BRPs): - Limit Reference points: BMSY and FMSY - Target Reference Points: B0.1 and F0.1 Stock status is assigned based on current estimates of fishing mortality (Fcur) and biomass (Bcur) relative to these target and limit reference points (Bcur/BMSY, Fcur/FMSY, Bcur/B0.1, Fcur/F0.1). The results from the stock assessment of this stock are found under the “Biological state and trend section”. Assessment Model Type: Biomass-aggregated Schaefer dynamic production model The series of total landings for all the fleets (coastal, deep-sea cephalopod vessels, longliners and Moroccan and Spanish artisanal fisheries) of the sea bream (Pagellus acarne) was used by the Working Group. It should be noted that the low catches over the last few years may be due to the extension of the biological rest season in recent years. The Working Group used both the abundance indices (kg/30 min) of the trawl surveys carried out between Bojador and Lagouira and the CPUEs of the national cephalopod trawlers for the model fit. Scientific Advice Considering that the besugue is taken as bycatch in several fisheries, it is important to monitor the application of the regulations in force in the different fisheries to ensure a stock recovery.
