1.1.3 Stock Rebuilding:<br />

Where the stock is<br />

depleted, there is<br />

evidence of stock<br />

rebuilding.<br />

(1-60) Where stocks are<br />

depleted rebuilding strategies<br />

which have a reasonable<br />

expectation of success are in<br />

place.<br />

(2-60) Monitoring is in place to<br />

determine whether they are<br />

effective in rebuilding the stock<br />

within a specified timeframe.<br />

(1-80) Where stocks are<br />

depleted rebuilding strategies<br />

are in place.<br />

(2-80) There is evidence that<br />

they are rebuilding stocks, or it is<br />

highly likely based on simulation<br />

modelling or previous<br />

performance that they will be<br />

able to rebuild the stock within a<br />

specified timeframe.<br />

(1-100) Where stocks are<br />

depleted, strategies are<br />

demonstrated to be rebuilding<br />

stocks continuously and there is<br />

strong evidence that rebuilding<br />

will be complete within the<br />

shortest practicable timeframe.<br />

Scoring comments<br />

There is no evidence of depletion of the North Sea bass stock. Although the available assessments do not allow the abundance of sea bass to<br />

be determined in absolute quantitative terms, stock abundance indicators suggest that the sea bass population in the North Sea has become<br />

more productive since 1990, with increased levels of recruitment, a higher SSB and an extension of its geographical range to the north.<br />
