IN EX FISH aimed to increase the responsiveness of fishery management to a range of anthropogenic and natural factors through a review of fish stock dynamics in four European sea areas: the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, the West Iberian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
It had four objectives:
- To review the effects of anthropogenic and natural factors on the dynamics of fish stocks
- To develop a framework for evaluating anthropogenic and natural factors on the dynamics of exploited
- Fish species
- To review indicators of ecosystem status and identify effective ones
- To demonstrate the effect of integrating the IN EX FISH knowledge into fishery management
