  2. Risk-Based Framework (RBF) Overview

  3. Learning Objectives • To know when the Risk-Based Framework can be used • To understand an outline of the methods used to assess a data-deficient fishery

  4. Agenda • Which components and performance indicators can the Risk-Based Framework be used for? • Two methods • SICA • PSA

  5. The RBF – Risk Based Framework Performance Indicators (31) Principles Components 1. Outcome/ Status PIs 1-3 P1.Target Stock PIs 1-4 2. Management, info etc 1. Retained species 2. Bycatch species 1. Outcome/ Status P2. Ecosystem Impact 2. Management 3. ETP species 3. Information 4. Habitats 5. Ecosystem PIs 1-4 1. Governance and policy P3. Management PIs 1-5 2. Fishery specific management

  6. RBF includes two key methods • Scale Intensity Consequence Analysis (SICA) Qualitative: consulting stakeholders through a structured process and framework, using expert opinion to estimate risk • Productivity Susceptibility Analysis (PSA) Semi-Quantitative: using biological and catchability attributes of the stock and fishery to estimate risk through calculations.

  7. SICA • Screening tool to measure the impacts of fishery activities on a range of scoring issues • P1 – typically the target species of the fishery • P2 – full range of retained and bycatch species, habitats or ecosystems could be assessed • Where judgements about risk uncertain, highest plausible consequence score should be chosen

  8. SICA Scoring • Work with stakeholders to define the: • Scale (temporal and spatial) and • Intensity of the relevant risk-causing activity as well as the consequence for the particular species, habitat or ecosystem being scored • Where consequence scores sufficiently high for the target, retained or bycatch species, a further evaluation using PSA is undertaken

  9. PSAProductivity and Susceptibility Analysis Productivity attributes • Maximum age • Age at maturity • Size at maturity • Annual fecundity • Maximum size • Reproductive strategy • Trophic level Susceptibility attributes • Availability • Overlap with fishery • Encounterability • Habitat overlap • Depth range overlap • Selectivity • Post-Capture Mortality
