5 Table S. Estimates of B/B MSY for stocks in the Fiji analysis based on catch data from 0. B/B MSY values are from 0. Trends were calculated from Positive and negative trends were significantly different from zero; if the trend was not significantly different from zero it was labelled none. A stock was considered collapsed if B MSY <0% and overfished if 0%< B MSY <0%. If the stock had a significantly positive trend in the last five years, it was considered to be overfished/rebuilding. If the stock was not in one of these categories, it was left blank.
