a Proportions of mature (standardized maturity index ≥1) and immature (standardized maturity index <1) specimens caught (data from PPAs and UPAs pooled) for the three extinction risk groups (TH = Threatened, NTH = Nonthreatened, DD = Data Deficient). b and c represent the break-down for PPAs and UPAs, respectively. The black vertical lines indicate maturity index corresponding to L50.
