sustainable catch

Number (weight) of fish in a stock that can be taken by fishing without reducing the stock biomass from year to year, assuming that environmental conditions remain the same. Different levels of s.c. exist for different stock sizes. Maximum s.c. is defined in reference to a size (and composition) of a stock which makes the natural growth of the stock equal to this maximum.
