Multidimensional Indicators to Assess the Sustainability of Demersal Small-Scale Fishery in the Azores

Abstract: The Azorean demersal fishery sector is one of the most important in the archipelago. As a small-scale fishery, it plays an important role in the livelihood of the community, being a source of employment and income, and contributing to poverty alleviation.

“…The lack of systematized biological data is one of the main factors that make it difficult to assess stock health and may hide species that already face a situation of fishing vulnerability. Demersal species are more vulnerable to overexploitation due to their life history characteristics, such as long life span, slow growth and late sexual maturation [ 31 , 91 , 92 ].…”
