Metric: Annual weight of all discarded and/or dead species (kg). Measures the total weight of all fish and other marine species that are caught but returned to the water rather than kept. This indicator provides an overall measure of fishery discarding.

Metric: Kilogram of scope 1 emissions per kilogram of fish landed. (kg CO2-e/kg fish). Measures the amount of direct greenhouse gas emissions produced by fishing operations for each kilogram of fish brought to shore. This indicator shows the carbon efficiency of the fishery.

Metric: Annual weight of discarded and/or dead target species by species (kg). Measures the weight of target species that are caught but not retained and are returned to the water. This helps track unwanted catch and potential waste of target species.

Metric: Annual catch weight for each species (kg). Measures the total weight of each non-target species that is caught and retained by the fishery. This helps track how much of these species is being harvested over time.

Metric: Impact score of fishery activity on habitat quality as determined by gear type. Measures the potential impact of fishing gear on marine habitats such as the seafloor, reefs, or other underwater environments. Higher scores indicate greater potential effects on habitat quality.

Metric: Number of culturally significant species mortalities. Measures the number of culturally important species that die due to fishing activities each year. This indicator helps track impacts on species that have cultural, spiritual, or traditional importance to communities.

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.

Metric: Percentage of macro-plastic waste that is recycled, recovered, or re-used by the fishery annually. Measures the proportion of plastic waste generated by the fishery that is recycled, recovered, or reused instead of being disposed of. This indicator reflects how effectively the fishery manages plastic waste.

Metric: Annual number of threatened, endangered, and protected species (TEPS) mortalities. Measures the number of threatened, endangered, or protected animals that die each year as a result of fishing activities. This indicator helps assess the fishery’s impact on vulnerable species.

Metric: Impact of the fishery on the byproduct stock expressed through biological stock status (SAFS categories) of retained non-target species. Measures the health of fish populations that are affected by the fishery but are not targeted or retained. Based on scientific stock assessments, this indicator shows whether these species are being impacted in a way that is sustainable.
