Fish Stock Status

 

Fish stock status is the percentage of a country’s total catch that comes from overexploited or collapsed stocks, considering all fish stocks within a country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZs). Because continued and increased stock exploitation leads to smaller catches, this indicator sheds light on the impact of a fishing practices within its EEZs. A score of 100 indicates that none a country's fish catch come from stocks that are overexploited or collapsed, and a score of 0 indicates worst performance. Data come from the Sea Around Us.
