Abstract

replying to T. A. Branch, D. J. Hively & R. Hilborn. Nature 495, 10.1038/nature11974 (2013) Branch et al.1 suggest that the fisheries component of our ocean health and benefits index2 is ‘biased’. We contend that our approach is no more biased than their alternative, and that our method improves on theirs in three fundamental ways: it provides a score for every country, accounts for thousands of data-poor stocks, and incorporates sustainability more comprehensively.
