| Abb. | Term | Definition |
| MPA | Marine Protected Area | Discrete geographic areas of the sea that are protected by spatially explicit restrictions designated under international, national, tribal or local laws to enhance long-term conservation of natural resources therein. |
| NTR | No-take reserve | MPAs where all anthropogenic activities are excluded, apart from scientific research. |
| PPA | Partially protected area | MPAs whereby regulations restrict some extractive uses but permit others. |
| Open | Open access area | Areas outside the MPA that are open to fishing. |
| TP | Target-protected species | Target species that were protected in both the NTR and the PPA |
| TNP | Target non-protected species | Target species that were protected in the NTR but still allowed to be fished inside the PPA |
| NT | Non-target species | Species for which fishing gear is not specifically set, although the possibility that these species are accidentally caught as by-catch cannot be ruled out |
| IdC | Indiscriminate, commercial PPA | PPAs that prohibit fishing activities which are damaging to bottom habitats and non-target species (e.g. scallop dredging, bottom trawling) but allow other forms of commercial fishing with mid-water towed gear or static bottom gear |
| DC | Discriminate, commercial PPA | PPAs that prohibit activities which affect particular target species but not the surrounding environment (e.g. seine nets, long lines, spearfishing) but allow subsistence fishing on a commercial basis |
| DR | Discriminate, recreational PPA | PPAs that prohibit activities which affect particular target species but not the surrounding environment (e.g. seine nets, long lines, spearfishing) but allow fishing on a recreational basis |
