1. Progress D3
Mark Dickey-Collas

2. D3.3 Healthy stocks are characterised by high proportion of old, large individuals (2010)
Workshop explored:
• Size distribution of the species (state)
• Selectivity pattern of the fishery exploiting the species (pressure)
• Genetic effects of exploitation on the species (state)

3. Size distribution of the species
lack of meaningful assessment benchmark, large degree redundancy
Selectivity pattern of the fishery exploiting the species
No agreement- seen as management issue, confounds D3.1, cannot define GES & reconcile with CFP, mixed fisheries
Genetic effects of exploitation
Ambiguous and likely slow response time to pressure, data greedy

4. Workshop on assessing D3
National list of species: Data Collection Framework (DCF)
New DCF will reconcile assessed stocks & nationally important stocks
All stocks fished by national fleet
Stocks to species, challenges CFP
What does it mean to management?

5. Proposal
& Request
Important reconcile with CFP

6. This approach creates substantial challenges
Trade-offs between the use of evidence based and available information when integrating within stocks.

7. Practical application
Variable evidence base
Differing relationship to MSY
Challenge to CFP

8. D3 information supply from ICES
Memorandum of understanding between ICES and the European Union requires ICES to give its advice on CFP objectives in a manner that is consistent with environmental objectives.
Thus ICES must advise on fisheries issues in consideration of EU environmental policies.

9. D3 information supply by 2017
GES by stock D3.1 & D3.2 integrated per stock
GES by region proportion of stocks D3.1 & D3.2 & missing data
D3 summary sheet for each ICES ecoregion
Not cover ICCAT, non-TAC
