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. and 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. remains too high.
Fishing with pelagicPelagic trawls:
In pelagic trawling, a trawl is pulled through the water column. The net is not towed across the seabed. trawls is unlikely to have a major impact on the ecosystem and other species. However, information is limited and the fishery overlaps with important habitats for vulnerable cartilaginous fish.
There are efforts to improve managementManagement:

For fisheries, management measures can affect the amount of fish that can be caught, the type of gear that can be used and where fishing is and is not allowed. is still insufficient. Management of this species is partially effective.
