Many researchers define this situation as the point when only 10 per
cent of the highest historical catch is achieved. When a stock is
depleted the catch cannot be increased even with intensified fishing,
which is referred to as an increase in fishing effort.
A stock is considered to be recovering when the catch begins to rise
again after depletion.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
presently uses three categories to describe the status of the stocks:
non-fully exploited, fully exploited, and overexploited.
The art of counting fish
Humans are not capable of looking into the ocean
and counting the fish they see. Instead, they must
try to estimate the size of fish stocks as accurately
as possible.
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations (FAO) uses various sources to estimate
global fish stocks and trends as accurately as
possible.
The results are published every two years in the
SOFIA Report (The State of World Fisheries and
Aquaculture).

FISHERIES – Fishermen report their catches to their government
authorities, such as the Ministries of Fisheries. The authorities are
obliged to send this data to the FAO. The data is also forwarded to
scientists in their own country.
THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY – Fisheries’ data is often incomplete or
incorrect. For instance, fishermen only report the amounts of those
fish which they are officially permitted to catch. They do not include
any unwanted “bycatch” – all the fish and marine fauna which are
caught inadvertently and until now have mostly been thrown back
overboard.
An quantitative assessment of bycatch levels would, however, be
crucial as this could provide a more realistic estimate of the actual
status of fish stocks.

FAO’s assessment:
The fraction of fish stocks that are within biologically
sustainable levels decreased from 90 % (1974) to 65.8
% (2017).
The percentage of stocks fished at biologically
unsustainable levels increased, especially in the late
1970s and 1980s from 10 % (1974) to 34.2 % (2017).
The high proportion of stocks fished at biologically
unsustainable levels: Mediterranean and Black Sea (Area 37)
highest percentage (62.5 %), the Southeast Pacific (Area
87) 54.5 %, and Southwest Atlantic (Area 41) 53.3 %.
The lowest proportion of stocks fished at biologically
unsustainable levels: the Eastern Central Pacific (Area 77),
Southwest Pacific (Area 81), Northeast Pacific (Area 67), and
Western Central Pacific (Area 71) (13–22 %)
The Status of Fishery Resources
Tingkat pemanfaatan
E < 0,5= Moderate, upaya penangkapan dapat
ditambah;
0,5 ≤ E < 1= Fully-exploited, upaya penangkapan
dipertahankan dengan monitor ketat;
E ≥ 1 = Over-exploited, upaya penangkapan
harus dikurangi.
