The 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. on the blackspot seabream stockStock:
The fish of a particular species reproducing in the same area in the same period. is currently too high. Whether the stock is 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. is still uncertain due to the large uncertainties in available information.
Blackspot seabream are caught primarily with handlinesHandlines and pole-lines:
A collective name for pole lines, jigs and troll lines. Hand lines and pole lines are used on a small scale most of the time and are relatively selective. unwanted by-catch have a high survival rate because they can be thrown back immediately. and pole-lines and in the 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. longline fishery. The impact of these fisheries on threatened and protectedProtected species:
Many marine species are protected from deliberate or intentional disturbance, capture, injury and killing, and in some cases possession or sale. Species are often protected if they play an important role in the ecosystem or are sensitive to fishing. These marine species are protected regardless of whether they are inside or outside marine protected areas. species is largely unknown, especially since this species is found in deeper waters. Although fishing with handlines and rod lines may be more selectiveSelective fishing methods:
Selective fishing methods capture many target species, and little or no unwanted fish species and animals. , the pressure differential during retrieval may also cause 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). not to survive a release.
Blackspot seabream are not effectively monitored, missing important data for stock estimateStock estimate:
Estimating the number of fish of a particular species who are reproducing in the same spawning area in the same period. s. Although no management plan has been developed for this species, it appears that current measures could cause fishing pressureFishing pressure:

The regulations surrounding fisheries and aquaculture that ensure that production is carried out within legal frameworks and that sustainability can be assured. of this species is partially effective.
