Balanced harvesting has been proposed as away for fisheries management to achieve the requirements of both the Law of the Sea Convention (LOSC)-to maintain stocks at the level at which they could produce MSY-and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)-to maintain ecosystem structure and functioning. This paper examines these requirements and briefly presents four system-level relationships (spectra), representing ecosystem structures that might guide management decision-making aiming to meet both requirements. These spectra would fit in the widely accepted frameworks of the Ecosystem Approach enshrined in the CBD and adopted by FAO for Fisheries. A size spectrum, relating biomass to body length, is used as an example to illustrate its potential to support management decision-making-much like present stock-based harvest control rules-in more ecosystem-compliant fishing strategies at a sector or ecosystem level, as a complement to those currently used at a stock/population level.
