Biological reference points often reflect the combination of several components of stock dynamics (growth, recruitment and mortality) into a single index. In addition, the BRPs identify target and threshold levels to consider for a sustainable fishery (Precautionary BRP).

Biological reference points often reflect the combination of several components of stock dynamics (growth, recruitment and mortality) into a single index. In addition, the BRPs identify target and threshold levels to consider for a sustainable fishery (Precautionary BRP).

Facing the problem of identification of suitable BRPs, two main aspects are often addressed in Mediterranean, i.e. testing the potential of indicators used in other geographical regions (e.g. ICES context) and evaluating BRPs that better incorporate the biological technical specific characteristics of the area.
