Fisheries

The Fisheries issue category measures the health and sustainability of the world’s fisheries. It is made up of five indicators: fish stock status, fish catch discarded, fish caught by bottom trawling and dredging (domestically and across the global ocean), and the marine trophic index. Since data is only available for marine fisheries, landlocked countries are not scored in these indicators.
