biomass |
B0 |
Virgin/unfished biomass |
B20% |
B20% B-virg. Level of spawning stock corresponding to a fraction (here 20%) of the unexploited biomass. Virgin biomass is estimated as the point where the replacement line for F=0 intersects the stock-recruitment relationship or as the biomass from a spawning stock per recruit curve when F=0 and average recruitment is assumed. |
BMSY |
Biomass at MSY. Biomass corresponding to Maximum Sustainable Yield from a production model or from an age-based analysis using a stock recruitment model. Often used as a biological reference point in fisheries management, it is the calculated long-term average biomass value expected if fishing at FMSY. |
Blim |
Limit reference point for spawning stock biomass (SSB). Below this value recruitment is expected to be ‘impaired’ or the stock dynamics are unknown. Below Blim there is a higher risk that the stock could “collapse”. The meaning of “collapse” is that the stock has reached a level where it suffers from severely reduced productivity. |
Blrp |
a lower limit reference point for spawning stock biomass (SSB), for which Blim and B20% are commonly regarded as proxies. |
Bpa |
precautionary reference point for spawning stock biomass (SSB). It is precautionary buffer to avoid that true SSB is at Blim when the perceived SSB is at Bpa. In general, management advice is aimed at avoiding the risk that the spawning stock falls below Bpa. However, Bpa should not be regarded as a target reference point (Btrp). |
Btrp |
an upper target reference point for spawning stock biomass (SSB), for which BMSY and B40% are commonly regarded as proxies. |

fishing mortality |
F0.1 |
F zero point one. The fishing mortality rate at which the marginal yield-per-recruit (i.e. the increase in yield-per-recruit in weight for an increase in one unit of fishing mortality) is only 10 percent of the marginal yield-per-recruit on the unexploited stock. The fishing mortality rate at which the slope of the yield-per-recruit curve is only one-tenth the slope of the curve at its origin. Gulland J.A. and L.K. Boerema (1973): Scientific advice on catch levels. Fishery Bulletin, 71(2): 325-335 via http://www.fao.org/faoterm/viewentry/en/?entryId=98298 |
FMSY |
The fishing mortality rate which, if applied constantly, would result in Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY). |
Flim |
limit reference point for fishing mortality (mean over defined age range). The limit reference point for fishing mortality Flim is the fishing mortality that is expected to drive the stock to the biomass limit when it is maintained over time. This is exploitation rate that is expected to be associated with stock ‘collapse’ if maintained over a longer time. |
Fpa |
precautionary reference point for fishing mortality (mean over defined age range). This is a precautionary buffer to avoid that true fishing mortality is at Flim when the perceived fishing mortality is at Fpa. In general, management advice is aimed at avoiding the risk that fishing mortality rate increases above Fpa. |
Ftrp |
target fishing mortality in a management plan or management strategy. |
