Fishing intensity by region

Fishing intensity measures the extent to which a stock is being exploited. Here, it's measured as current fishing intensity divided by the intensity at the maximum sustainable yield. A value of one is the optimal level to maximize fish catch without causing fish population. Greater than one suggests overfishing.
