Number of target and species in the EPTF with an ‘uncertain’ or ‘undefined’ exploitation status. The number of target and byproduct species with an ‘uncertain’ or ‘undefined’ exploitation status has not decreased between two consecutive odd-numbered years [e.g. 2006/07 is considered an year and 2007/08 is considered an even-numbered year]  Number of target and byproduct species harvested in the EPTF with an exploitation status “uncertain’ or ‘undefined’: 2006/07 - 13 2009/10 - 14 2007/08 - 13 2010/11 - 15 2008/09 - 13 The number of species being assessed as part of the Resource Assessment System has increased due to the addition of priority recreational species and the splitting of species groupings (e.g. sharks) into more refined categories (e.g. whalers, tiger, hammerhead, mako sharks). This indicates that a change to the performance indicator and trigger point is needed. The difference between the current and target resource assessment class for target and species of the EPTF. The sum of the difference between the current and target assessment class for target and by-product species has not decreased between two consecutive years [e.g. 2006/07 is considered an odd-numbered year and 2007/08 is considered an even-numbered year]  The sum of the difference between the current and target assessment 2006/07 - 15 2009/10 - 13 2007/08 - 13 2010/11 - 15 2008/09 - 14 As above, the number of species being assessed as part of the Resource Assessment System has increased over time. In addition, target classes may be reviewed and occasionally changed, for instance where research projects or other jurisdictions' assessments suggest the risks are greater or less than previously thought. These factors can affect the sum of differences even where there is no change to the current assessment class for individual species, and indicates that a change to the performance indicator and trigger point is needed.
