Principle 2 Fishing operations should allow for the maintenance of the structure, productivity, function and diversity of the<br />

ecosystem<br />

(including habitat and associated dependent and ecologically related species) on which the fishery depends<br />

Scoring criteria Scoring guidepost 60 Scoring guidepost 80 Scoring guidepost 100<br />

2.1 Retained non-target species<br />

2.1.1 Status: The fishery<br />

does not pose a risk of<br />

serious or irreversible<br />

harm to the retained<br />

species and does not<br />

hinder recovery of<br />

depleted retained<br />

species.<br />

Scoring comments<br />

(1-60) Main retained species are<br />

likely to be within biologically<br />

based limits or if outside the<br />

limits there are measures in<br />

place that are expected to<br />

ensure that the fishery does not<br />

hinder recovery and rebuilding of<br />

the depleted species.<br />

(2-60) If the status is poorly<br />

known there are measures or<br />

practices in place that are<br />

expected to result in the fishery<br />

not causing the retained species<br />

to be outside biologically based<br />

limits or hindering recovery.<br />

(1-80) Main retained species are<br />

highly likely to be within<br />

biologically based limits, or if<br />

outside the limits there is a<br />

partial strategy of demonstrably<br />

effective management measures<br />

in place such that the fishery<br />

does not hinder recovery and<br />

rebuilding.<br />

(1-100) There is a high degree of<br />

certainty that retained species<br />

are within biologically based<br />

limits.<br />

(2-100) Target reference points<br />

are defined and retained species<br />

are at or fluctuating around their<br />

target reference points.<br />
