Optimum Yield - the amount of fish that: 1) will provide the greatest overall benefit to the nation, particularly with respect to food production and recreational opportunities, and taking into account the protection of marine ecosystems; 2) is prescribed on the basis of the maximum sustainable yield from the fishery, as reduced by any relevant economic, social or ecological factors; 3) in the case of an overfished fishery, provides for rebuilding to a level consistent with producing the MSY in such fishery.
