IND123 - Healthcheck: Discards (byproduct species)
Metric: Annual weight of discarded and/or dead byproduct species by species (kg).
Measures the weight of retained non-target species that are caught but discarded instead of being kept. This indicator helps assess fishing efficiency and the impact of the fishery on these species.

Resource lineage
- Statement
- Step 1: Locate the most recent predefined retained non-target (byproduct) species list for the fishery from the fishery management website for each jurisdiction or other available source. Step 2: Search discard weights for each of the fishery's byproduct species. If discard weights are not recorded for the fishery or discard data for a byproduct species is not found is not found for any other reason, report "Data not found" for that species and the year of data collection for the framework. Step 3: Report the fishery's total discard weight for each byproduct species individually and the data's year of provenance and/or publication where available.
