Remaining Issues with the CFP Reform Rainer Froese, GEOMAR Breakfast Discussion with Fisheries Attachées 6th March 2013, WWF Office, Brussels Four Trialogue Issues Reduce F to Fmsy by 2015 or by 2020 Reduce F below Fmsy after 2015 or target Fmsy indefinitely Rebuild B above Bmsy by 2020 or rebuild B at least to Bmsy without deadline No discard or 9-7% discard allowed Four Terms Biomass (B) is the body-weight of all fish in the water MSY is the Maximum Sustainable Yield (= maximum catch) that can be taken from a population of fish (= stock) indefinitely Bmsy is the biomass that a fish stock must have, so that it can deliver the maximum sustainable yield MSY Fmsy is the fishing rate (the proportion of fish killed by fishing) resulting in Bmsy Reduce F to Fmsy by 2015 or by 2020 F is the proportion of fish killed by fishing in a given year F = 0.4 means that 40% of the fish that were there on average during the year were caught If F = Fmsy, stocks will gradually recover to Bmsy and catches will gradually approach MSY The lower F, the faster Bmsy is reached and the faster catches can approach MSY * * Reality Check Of 38 stocks with available data in 2011, 21 (55%) were already below Fmsy 10 more stocks could reach Fmsy easily by 2015 Severe overfishing endangers remaining stocks Reduce F to Fmsy by 2015 or by 2020 Setting TAC means setting F If stock size increases, a lower F means a higher TAC Economic analysis shows that profits over a period of 5-10 years are maximized if Bmsy is reached as fast as possible * Froese Quaas, Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2011 Reduce F below Fmsy after 2015 or target Fmsy indefinitely UNFSA (1995) makes it clear that Fmsy is not a target but a to-be-avoided limit reference point Only F below Fmsy results in B above Bmsy An in-depth analysis of European stocks suggested F = 90% Fmsy for regular fish (cod, plaice, whiting) and F = 75% Fmsy for forage fish such as sprat, herring and sandeel
