Sustainability of certified and uncertified seafood.

<p>Current (i.e., most recent year with available information) biomass and exploitation rate for (<b>A</b>) individual certified (<i>n</i> = 45); (<b>B</b>) all uncertified (<i>n</i> = 179); and (<b>C</b>) uncertified stocks that went through pre-assessment and were not recommended for certification (<i>n</i> = 25). Data are scaled relative to <i>B</i>MSY and <i>u</i>MSY or <i>F</i>MSY (the biomass and exploitation rates or fishing mortality rates that produce maximum sustainable yield). Contour colors show probability of occurrence (red indicates the highest probability and blue the lowest). Vertical and horizontal solid lines represent reference points common to all fisheries (<i>B/B</i>MSY = 1 and <i>u/u</i>MSY or <i>F/F</i>MSY = 1). Dotted lined represents <i>B</i> = 1.3<i>B</i>MSY and dashed line <i>B</i> = 0.5<i>B</i>MSY. Footnote: New assessments for some fish stocks were released while this paper was in press, but this figure was not updated to maintain consistency in year of release.
