| Population size |
Insignificant change to population size/growth rate (r). Change is unlikely to be detectable against natural variability for this population. |
Possible detectable change in size/growth rate (r) but minimal impact on population size and none on dynamics. |
Full exploitation rate but long-term recruitment dynamics not adversely damaged. |
Consequence is higher risk than 60 level. |
| Reproductive capacity |
Insignificant change in reproductive capacity. Unlikely to be detectable against natural variability for this population. |
Possible detectable change in reproductive capacity but minimal impact on population dynamics. |
Detectable change in reproductive capacity. Impact on population dynamics at maximum sustainable level, long-term recruitment dynamics not adversely affected. |
|
| Age/size/sex structure |
Insignificant change in age/size/sex structure. Unlikely to be detectable against natural variability for this population. |
Possible detectable change in age/size/sex structure but minimal impact on population dynamics. |
Detectable change in age/size/sex structure. Impact on population dynamics at maximum sustainable level, long-term recruitment dynamics not adversely affected. |
|
| Geographic range |
Insignificant change in geographic range. Unlikely to be detectable against natural variability for this population. |
Possible detectable change in geographic range but minimal impact on population distribution and none on dynamics. |
Detectable change in geographic range up to 10% of original distribution due to fishing activities. |
