surplus production

surplus production
production of new weight by a fishable stock, plus recruits added to it, less what is removed by natural mortality. Usually estimated as the catch in a given year plus the increase in stock size or less the decrease (Ricker, 1975). As a stock is fished, the biomass is lowered, the fish have less competition for food and other resources, growth and reproduction improves, fish are healthier, and the age composition is biased towards younger fish. Younger fish grow faster and increase the stock\'s productivity. Abbreviated as Y\'. Also called natural increase, sustainable yield, equilibrium catch
