Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Nigerian statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Nigerian-specific metadata information.

Indicator information

Proxy: Total Fisheries Production (metric tons)
Definition and concepts

The indicator we propose is the “proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels”, not limits. “within biologically sustainable levels” means that abundance of the fish stock is at or higher than the level that can produce the maximum sustainable yield.

Indicator

Indicator 14.4.1: Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels
Target

Target 14.4: By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as determined by their biological characteristics
