A LARMING STATE OF MOST DEMERSAL STOCKS

This annex provides an overview of the state of most demersal stocks in the western Mediterranean Sea. It also shows the evolution of the problem over time.

Figure A8.1 Evolution of the problem of overfishing for most demersal stocks exploited in the western Mediterranean Sea (from 2000 to 2014). Overfishing is expressed as the ratio between current fishing mortality and the target fishing mortality at MSY levels (i.e. F/F MSY ). The red area indicates overfishing (i.e. F > F MSY ) and the green area indicates sustainable fishing activity (i.e. F < F MSY ). This figure indicates that the large majority of stocks have been continuously exploited well beyond sustainable levels.
