This tool matches ISSF resources to Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Performance Indicators (PIs), and it’s designed for fishery improvement projects (FIPs) that need to make progress on specific PIs — including to close conditions for MSC fishery certification. Some resources also are suitable for tuna fisheries seeking to be pre-assessed against the MSC standard.
In the graphic below, you have two ways to access the resources:
- As a complete, alphabetical list, by clicking the green link under “MSC Fisheries Standard”
- Within each MSC Principle and Performance Indicator. Click the plus symbol (+) to expand a PI, and follow the green “View ISSF FIP Resources” link. You’ll see a list of ISSF online resources and/or technical services that support a fishery’s efforts to improve performance on that PI.
In a resource list, we feature our most important resources, in yellow, at the top. For a customized view of other resources in a list, you can filter each column (e.g., “Resource Type”) — including to find ones useful for preassessment, during a FIP, or both. Use the buttons above the Search box (at top right) to print or share information via email or social networks.
Online resource items are linked, so it’s easy to view and/or download those resources. (Unless otherwise noted, resource items are in English.) On mobile devices, view the Finder horizontally for the best view.
If you would like to request ISSF technical services — such as workshops or consultations for your FIP — or have fishery improvement support questions, use our FIP Support Form.
MSC Fisheries Standard
View All ISSF FIP ResourcesPrinciple 1
Sustainable fish stocks
Fisheries must operate in a way that allows fishing to continue indefinitely, without over exploiting the resources.
Outcome
MSC Performance Indicators 1.1.1–1.1.2
PI 1.1.1 Stock Status
The stock is at a level which maintains high productivity and has a low probability of recruitment overfishing.

Principle 2
Minimizing environmental impacts
Fishing operations need to be managed to maintain the structure, productivity, function and diversity of the ecosystem upon which the fishery depends, including other species and habitats.
Primary Species
MSC Performance Indicators 2.1.1–2.1.3
PI 2.1.1 Outcome (O)
The UoA aims to maintain primary species above the point where recruitment would be impaired (PRI) and does not hinder recovery of primary species if they are below the PRI.
