Figure 7.3.4 Fishing mortality of mackerel in the Northeast Atlantic and adjacent waters for ages 4-8 years indicated by the red line with 95% confidence intervals indicated by the red shaded area. The reference points Fpa (precautionary reference point for fishing mortality), Flim (a critical threshold of fishing mortality, above which recruitment overfishing and stock collapse is possible) and FMSY (fishing mortality consistent with achieving maximal sustainable yield) are indicated by horizontal lines.
