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 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: 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: 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: 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.
