status

status
1) the status of a taxon indicates the rank (i.e. level in hierarchy of taxonomic categories) to which it belongs, e.g. genus, subfamily, etc. The status of a taxon may be elevated or reduced (with accompanying ending change when necessary), and this has no bearing on the authorship of the taxon
2) the condition of a stock or fishery based on stock assessment results, e.g. a stock is overfished if its biomass is below the agreed limit reference point
