7 FAO Minimum Substantive Requirements and Criteria for Ecolabels and Marine Capture Fisheries Paragraph 30 - Stocks under consideration Requirement: The stock under consideration is not overfished, and is maintained at a level which promotes the objective of optimal utilization and maintains its availability for present and future generations, taking into account that longer term changes in productivity can occur due to natural variability and/or impacts other than fishing. In the event that biomass drops well below such target levels, management measures (Code of Conduct Article 7.6) should allow for restoration within reasonable time frames of the stocks to such The following criteria are applicable: 30.1 The stock under consideration is not overfished if it is above the associated limit reference point (or its proxy) If fishing mortality (or its proxy) is above the associated limit reference point, actions should be taken to decrease the fishing mortality (or its proxy) below that limit reference point The structure and composition of the stock under consideration which contribute to its resilience are taken into account. 30. In the absence of specific information on the stock under consideration, generic evidence based on similar stocks can be used for fisheries with low risk to that stock under consideration. However, the greater the risk the more specific evidence is necessary to ascertain the sustainability of intensive fisheries The best environmental choice in seafood
