IND111 - Healthcheck: Target species stock status

Metric: SAFS status SAFS status, based on most recent assessment. If species sustainability information is not available in SAFS, using the ERAEF categories (Low, Medium, High) is a reporting option for some AFMA-managed commonwealth fisheries, but not for the state fisheries (Semi-quantitative). Target species in each fishery are the primary focus for this indicator. Status of these species is ideally assessed with the SAFS approach, however this may not cover all target species for each fishery. In that case, we indicate the number of unassessed species. These species could also be assessed by individual states or by alternative methods.
