Optimizing sustainable fishing yields - ecosystem and management perspectives
Fish stocks in the North Atlantic are rebuilding and it is time to revisit what the optimal fishing pressure is. The technical basis are the so-called FMSY reference points.
Ways of revising these are considered.
A scientific symposium organised by the “FMSY project” group
