Symbol Footnotes
# Wanted catch split according to the average in 1993–1998, i.e. 90.6% in Subarea 4 and Subdivision 3.a.20 and 9.4% in Subarea 6.
* “Wanted” and “unwanted” catch are used to describe fish that would be landed and discarded in the absence of the EU landing obligation.
** SSB2020 relative to SSB2019.
*** Total catch in 2019 relative to the TAC in 2018 (116 008 t).
^ Total catch 2019 relative to the advice value 2018 (118 460 t).
^^ Proposed EU multiannual plan (MAP) for the North Sea (EU, 2016).
A. Maximum scenario: Each fleet stops fishing when its last stock share is exhausted.
B. Minimum scenario: Each fleet stops fishing when its first stock share is exhausted.
C. COD: Each fleet stops fishing when its individual cod share is exhausted.
D. SQ (status quo) effort scenario: The effort of each fleet in 2017 and 2018 is as in 2016.
E. Value scenario: The effort of each fleet is equal to the weighted average of the efforts required to catch the fleet’s quota share of each of the stocks, where the weights are the relative catch values of each stock in the fleet’s portfolio.
F. Range scenario: The potential for TAC mismatches in 2018 are minimized within the FMSY range, for the demersal fish stocks for which such a range is available (cod.27.47d20; had.27.46a20; pok.27.3a46; ple.27.420; ple.27.7d; sol.27.4; sol.27.7d).
