This type of reference point is used in some fishery management plans to define overfishing. The MSP is the spawning stock biomass per recruit (SSB/R) when fishing mortality is zero. The degree to which fishing reduces the SSB/R is expressed as a percentage of the MSP (i.e. %MSP). A stock is considered overfished when the fishery reduces the %MSP below the level specified in the overfishing definition. The values of %MSP used to define overfishing can be derived from stock-recruitment data or chosen by analogy using available information on the level required to sustain the stock.
Industry:Fishing
The maximum time period to rebuild an overfished stock, according to National Standard Guidelines. Depends on biological, environmental, and legal/policy factors.
Industry:Fishing
In addition to factors related to economics such as benefits, capital, and labor, considerations such as social structure and social organization, people's knowledge and views (norms and values) about their work and how this relates to the resource. Also referred to as: cultural factors.
Industry:Fishing
The variety of species in a community, which can be expressed quantitatively in ways which reflect both the total number of species present and the extent to which the system is dominated by a small number of species.
Industry:Fishing
General category of valuation methods that includes contingent choice and contingent valuation techniques. Individuals are asked to makes choices concerning their willingness to pay (or accept compensation) for, rank, or make choices among alternative provisions of environmental goods.
Industry:Fishing
This can mean the amount of catch or level of fishing mortality, or is sometimes used without any precise quantity in mind.
Industry:Fishing
The dollar value of a firm's output (i.e. harvest) minus the dollar value of the inputs it purchases from other firms.
Industry:Fishing
The construction of physical, conceptual, or mathematical simulations of the real world. Models help to show relationships between processes (physical, economic, or social) and may be used to predict the effects of changes in the components of a system.
Industry:Fishing
The yield in weight taken from a fish stock when it is in equilibrium with fishing of a given intensity, and (apart from effects of environmental variation) its biomass is not changing from one year to the next. Also called: sustainable yield, equivalent sustainable yield.
