Figure 7.3.6 Fishing mortality of blue whiting 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 F pa (precautionary reference point for fishing mortality), F lim (a critical threshold of fishing mortality, above which recruitment overfishing and stock collapse is possible) and F MSY (fishing mortality consistent with achieving maximal sustainable yield) are indicated by horizontal lines.
