IND113 measures the biological stock status of non-target fish species caught as byproduct in Australian fisheries. The indicator uses scientific stock assessments to evaluate whether the impact on these species is sustainable. Data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on July 9, 2026.
Use Cases
- Assess fishery sustainability based on biological stock status of byproduct species.
- Monitor ecosystem health based on the impact on non-targeted fish populations.
- Inform fisheries policy and management based on scientific stock assessment categories.
Strengths
- Based on scientific stock assessments, providing a structured evaluation method.
- Focuses on non-target species, a key component of ecosystem-based fisheries management.
- Last updated on July 9, 2026, indicating recent maintenance.
