Audit the health of the catch. Calculate the "Mean Trophic Level" of a fishery to identify if you are "Fishing Down the Food Web"—a key indicator of ecosystem over-exploitation.
Sustainability requires maintaining high-level predators. A declining MTL indicates that top predators are being depleted, forcing the fishery to target smaller, lower-value species—a process known as **biological impoverishment**.
