Not much information is available to make a judgment; U - Underexploited, undeveloped or new fishery. Believed to have a significant potential for expansion in total production; M - Moderately exploited, exploited with a low level of fishing effort. Believed to have some limited potential for expansion in total production; F - Fully exploited. The fishery is operating at or close to an optimal yield level, with no expected room for further expansion; O - Overexploited. The fishery is being exploited at above a level which is believed to be sustainable in the long term, with no potential room for further expansion and a higher risk of stock depletion/collapse; D - Depleted. Catches are well below historical levels, irrespective of the amount of fishing effort exerted; FALSE R - Recovering. Catches are again increasing after having been depleted or a collapse from a previous; Bidimensional FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE Exploitation rate No or low fishing Moderate fishing High fishing mortality Uncertain / Not assessed FALSE FALSE Stock abundance Virgin or high abundance Intermediate abundance Low abundance FALSE Depleted Uncertain / Not assessed
