Integrated biodiversity status assessment - fish 2018

This dataset represents the Integrated biodiversity status assessment for fish used in State of the Baltic Sea – Second HELCOM holistic assessment 2011-2016. Status is shown in five categories based on the integrated assessment scores obtained in the BEAT tool. Biological Quality ratios (BQR) above 0.6 correspond to good status. The assessment is based on core indicators of coastal fish in coastal areas, and on internationally assessed commercial fish in the open sea. The open sea assessment includes fishing mortality and spawning stock biomass as an average over 2011–2016. Open sea results are given by ICES subdivisions, and are not shown where they overlap with coastal areas. Coastal areas results are given in HELCOM Assessment unit Scale 3 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins and further division into coastal and off-shore areas)


Attribute information:

"COUNTRY" = name of the country / opensea

"Name" = Name of the coastal assessment unit, scale 3 (empty for ICES open sea units)

"HELCOM_ID" = ID of the HELCOM scale 3 assessment unit (empty for ICES open sea units)

"EcoystemC" = Ecosystem component analyzed

"BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio

"Conf" = Confidence (0-1, higher values mean higher confidence)

"Total_indi" = Number of HELCOM core indicators included (coastal assessment units)

"F__of_area = % of area assessed

"D1C2" = MSFD descriptor 1 criteria 2

"Number_of" = Number of open sea species included

"Confidence" = Confidence of the assessment

"BQR_Demer" = Demersal Biological Quality Ratio

"F_spec_Deme" = Number of demersal species included

"Conf_Demer" = Confidence for demersal species

"BQR_Pelagi" = Pelagic Biological Quality Ratio

"F_specPela" = Number of pelagic species included

"Conf_Pelag" = Confidence for pelagic species

"ICES_SD" = ICES Subdivision number

"STATUS" = Integrated status category (0-0.2 = not good (lowest score), 0.2-0.4 = not good (lower score), 0.4-0.6 = not good (low score), 0.6-0.8 = good (high score, 0.8-1.0 = good (highest score))

Statement

The integrated assessment of coastal areas includes core indicators representing characteristic Baltic Sea coastal fish species, the ‘Abundance of key coastal fish species’ and ‘Abundance of key coastal fish functional groups’. The open sea assessment was based on results for internationally assessed commercial fish stocks, using information on spawning stock biomass and fishing mortality based on ICES data.


At open sea areas the internationally assessed commercial fish in the Baltic Sea encompass twenty-two fish stocks, representing twelve species. The stocks are assessed in relation to the objective of the fisheries management; that the spawning stock biomass and the fishing mortality should be kept at levels that are consistent with long term sustainability


Core indicators that were used to calculate the integrated biodiversity status assessment - fish:
