SAFS scientific assessments determine whether fish stocks targeted by Australian fisheries are sustainable, depleted, or recovering. This indicator measures the impact of fishing pressure on population health and productivity over time. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
Use Cases
- Monitor fishery sustainability based on biological stock status categories.
- Assess the impact of fishing pressure on target species populations over time.
- Model population health and recovery trends using scientific stock assessments.
Strengths
- Data is based on scientific assessments (SAFS) for determining stock status.
- Last updated on 2026-07-10, indicating recent maintenance.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
