CEMP Species

‘Harvested species’ are species which are targeted by commercial fisheries.

‘Dependent species’ are marine predators which consume species targeted by commercial fisheries. They include land-based marine predators such as penguins.

‘Indicator species’ are predator species with a wide geographical distribution and which are believed to reflect changes in the availability of harvested species.
