Abstract
As with previous OMP revisions, we are faced with the need to consider redefinition of the risk criteria. This is because the more or less the abundance of an unexploited resource fluctuates naturally, the more or less resilient it is to reduction to a specified level through exploitation, and hence the greater or lesser the acceptable probability that fishing reduce the resource to below that level (the basis we use for a risk criterion).
