The distribution of fishing mortality over the age composition of the fish, determined by the type of fishing gear and spatial and seasonal distribution of fishing, and by the growth and migration of the fish. In other words, it is the combined effect of gear selectivity and fish availability.

Applied on a fish stock, it is the proportion of the numbers or biomass removed by fishing. A 10% exploitation rate means that 10% of the available stock is being harvested within the time frame considered (per year, per month, etc.). As a measure of fishing pressure, it is proportional to fishing mortality

The calculation of this rate depends on the continuous and continuous growth process, not an increase in regularity, as in the engineering method, and it gives more accurate rates than the engineering average based on the theory of engineering progression.

The phasing and performance criteria are comparable to those of Stand-By Arrangements, although phasing on a semiannual basis is possible. Countries must repay EFF resources over a period of four and a half to 10 years.
