Deepwater Redfish

The stockStock:
The fish of a particular species reproducing in the same area in the same period.  of deepwater redfish is in good condition and is harvested sustainably.

The use of midwaterMidwater otter trawls:
A fishing technique whereby conical nets are dragged through the water column and are kept open by large square 'otter planks'.   ottertrawls has a low impact on the ecosystem. This fishery has a low bycatchBycatch:
Species caught next to species targeted for fishery. By-catches can consist of non-commercial species and species that are too small, and can be kept (this part is sometimes called by-product) or thrown back into the sea (discards). , as a discardsDiscards:
Unwanted by-catch, which is thrown back because there is no quota, the market price is too low, or the fish is below the legal minimum landing size. Discards can be alive or dead.ban has been implemented.

The overall management is seen as largely effective.

Fish in season 

Fish is in season when the spawning period has ended, as the quality is then at its best.

The stockStock:

The use of demersalDemersal longline:
A fishing method whereby an anchored long main line (40-100 km long) is expanded, with attached transverse lines with hooks with bait.   otter trawls has a large impact on the ecosystem and several habitats. This fishery has a low bycatchBycatch:
Species caught next to species targeted for fishery. By-catches can consist of non-commercial species and species that are too small, and can be kept (this part is sometimes called by-product) or thrown back into the sea (discards). , as a discardsDiscards:
Unwanted by-catch, which is thrown back because there is no quota, the market price is too low, or the fish is below the legal minimum landing size. Discards can be alive or dead.ban has been implemented. The survival rate of this bycatch is very low, as the species often do not survive the transport from the deep sea to the surface water.

The overall management is seen as largely effective.

Deepwater redfish is being heavily overfishedOverfished:
A stock is overfished when the stock size has decreased so far that it can no longer produce a maximum sustainable yield. The size of the fish populations is insufficient to reproduce in the long term.  in these areas. Although advice was given to lower fishing pressureFishing pressure:
Fishing pressure is a result of the fishing effort/amount of fishing on a stock, which determines the fishing mortality. Fishing mortality is the share of the fish stock that dies annually as a result of fishing., this has not been implemented in the last years. The fishing mortalityFishing mortality:
The share of the fish stock that dies annually by fishing. This is the size to which fishing pressure is examined.   is high for this stockStock:
The fish of a particular species reproducing in the same area in the same period. .
