Indicator Description and units Scores
1 2 3 4 5
Exposure Average harvested biomass (tons, 2017–2018) per ACS representing the potential loss magnitude per ACS ≤5000 5001–10000 10,001–15000 15,001–20,000 >20,000
Sensitivity factors i Accumulated biomass (2010–2018) per unit area (tons/ha) per ACS, representing accumulated stress to the concession area (potential eutrophication, diseases etc.) ≤300 301–600 601–900 901–1200 >1200
ii Atlantic salmon dominance (% of total harvest per ACS). ≤20 20.1–40 40.1–60 60,1–80 >80
iii Health management condition as average (2017–2018) total antibiotic (AB) use (tons) per ACS ≤4 4.1–8 8.1–12 12.1–16 >16
iv Unfavourable environmental conditions represented by number of algal bloom (HAB) events causing fish mortality within each ACS (2000–2016) <2 2–5 6–10 11–20 >20
v-Distance to nearest port (km) and access facility (land and sea) ≤30 Access by land and sea <30 and ≤50 Access by land and sea >50 and ≤100 Access by land and sea >50 and ≤100, Access only by sea >100, Access only by sea
Hazard Access reduction due to sanitary barriers and movement of personnel and/or harvesting reduction due to limited capacity in processing plants required to respect social distancing <20% 20–39% 40–59% 60–80% >80%
