Blim Minimum biomass below which recruitment is expected to be impaired or the stock dynamics are unknown. Bmsy Biomass corresponding to the maximum sustainable yield (biological reference point); the peak value on a domed yield-per-recruit curve. Bpa Precautionary biomass below which SSB should not be allowed to fall to safeguard it against falling to Blim. Btrigger Value of spawning stock biomass (SSB) that triggers a specific management action. CI Confidence Interval CPUE Catch per unit effort: The quantity of fish caught (in number or in weight) with one standard unit of fishing effort; e.g weight of fish taken per hour of trawling. considered an index of fish biomass (or abundance). Sometimes referred to as catch rate. F Instantaneous rate of fishing mortality Flim Limit reference point for fishing mortality (mean over defined age range) Fpa Precautionary buffer to preclude true fishing mortality being at Flim when the perceived fishing mortality is at Fpa. Fmax F where total yield or yield per recruit is highest (biological reference point) Fmsy F giving maximum sustainable yield (biological reference point) HCR Harvest Control Rules MSY Maximum Sustainable Yield MSY Precautionary biomass level at which the management plan initiates specific harvest Btrigger control rules to minimise the risk of further decline in biomass and concomitant risk to recruitment.
