Spawning stock biomass
The size, in tonnes, of the spawning stock biomass of the economically important
populations of the main commercial fish species of Estonia – sprat, Baltic herring and cod – in the Baltic
Sea, which can be viewed in comparison with the spawning stock biomass reference point (Btrigger).

Spawning stock biomass of Baltic herring in the Gulf of Riga
2023: 136,638 tonnes
The size, in tonnes, of the economically significant population of a commercial fish species in the Baltic Sea – Gulf of Riga Baltic herring. The spawning stock biomass reference point indicates the level below which specific management measures should be taken to ensure that exploitation rates in combination with natural variations rebuild stocks above levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yield in the long term.
