" In determining the allowable catch and establishing other conservation measures for the living resources in the high seas, States shall: (a) take measures which are designed, on the best scientific evidence available to the States concerned, to maintain or restore populations of harvested species at levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield, as qualified by relevant environmental and economic factors, including the special requirements of developing States, and taking into account fishing patterns, the interdependence of stocks and any generally recommended international minimum standards, whether subregional, regional or global; (b) take into consideration the effects on species associated with or dependent upon harvested species with a view to maintaining or restoring populations of such associated or dependent species above levels at which their reproduction may become seriously threatened."

➡ A group of fish of one species which shares com- mon ecological and genetic features.
➡ Groupe de poissons d'une même espèce partageant des caractéristiques écologiques et génétiques communes.
➡ the salt water that covers most of the earth's surface and surrounds its continents and islands
➡ subpopulations of a particular species of aquatic resource, for which intrinsic parameters are traditionally regarded as the significant factors determining the stock's population dynamics, while extrinsic factors are traditionally ignored.
➡ groupe d'animaux aquatiques (poissons, crustacés, mollusques…) de la même espèce qui est pêché.; La sous-populations d'une espèce aquatique particulière pour lesquelles les paramètres de croissance, recrutement, mortalité, etc sont traditionnellement considérés comme les facteurs significatifs déterminant la dynamique de population du stock. Les facteurs extrinsèques (immigration et émigration) sont généralement ignorés.
