Under each Principles the assessment team assessed the status, results, management and information of the target species (P1); of the retained, bycatch and ETP species, the habitat and ecosystem impact (P2) ; and of the fishery management (P3). The three Principles have been scored above 80 (P1=80, P2=81, P3=82) and seven Performance Indicators get a score under 80. The performance indicators scored under 80 were the 1.2.1 (75), 1.2.2 (75), 2.1.2 (75), 2.2.3 (65), 2.4.3 (70), 3.2.1 (60) and 3.2.2 (65).
