Figure 4. Illustration of approach for calculating gap between current status (abundance/productivity) and a selected viability curve. Basic sized population (minimum abundance threshold of 500 spawners). The 5% viability curve (line) represents minimum combinations of abundance (at equilibrium) and productivity (expected spawner/spawner ratio from spawning levels below capacity for the population) projecting to no more than a 5% risk of extinction over 100 years. Square represents estimates of current (1978-99 brood geomeans) abundance and productivity. Circle represents combination of abundance and productivity on the viability curve that is the shortest linear distance from the current status point
