Metric: Presence/absence of protections for culturally significant species in the legislation of the jurisdiction (state/territory or Commonwealth) in which the fishery operates. Indicates whether laws or regulations protect species of cultural importance.

Metric: Presence/absence of regulatory requirements in the fishery's jurisdiction aiming to mitigate bycatch, including the bycatch of protected species. Indicates whether fishery regulations require measures to reduce unintended catch of non-target or protected species.

Metric: Impact of the fishery on the target stock expressed through biological stock status (SAFS categories) of target species. Measures the health of the fish population being targeted by the fishery. It uses scientific assessments (SAFS) to determine whether the stock is at a sustainable level, depleted, or recovering. This indicator shows whether current fishing pressure is allowing the population to remain healthy and productive over time.

Metric: Percentage of waters zoned explicitly for commercial fishing in the fishery jurisdiction (state/territory or Commonwealth) of operation. Measures the proportion of jurisdictional waters that are designated for commercial fishing activities.

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: 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 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.

Metric: Annual catch weight for each species (kg). Measures the total weight of each species caught by the fishery. This indicator shows how much of each target species is being harvested and helps track trends in catch levels over time.

Metric: Impact score of fishery activity on species composition as determined by gear specificity. Measures how selectively fishing gear targets intended species versus unintentionally catching other species. This indicator helps assess the fishery’s influence on the balance and diversity of marine life.

Metric: Extent of negative communication (number of instances) about the fishery, target species, or extraction/production method(s) in the past 5 years. Measures the number of reported instances of negative media coverage, campaigns, or public commentary relating to the fishery.
