Symbol Footnotes
# All plaice in Division 7.d, including plaice originating from the North Sea and the western English Channel, according to a ratio calculated over the years 2003–2018: 15.1% of the plaice landed in Division 7.d is assumed to originate from the North Sea and the western English Channel, and this is added to the predicted values for the Division 7.d plaice stock. The ratio is applied to total catch, wanted catch, and unwanted catch.
## Total catch in 2020 relative to the Division 7.d proportion of the TAC in 2019 (10 354 t), assuming the same proportion of the TAC is taken from Division 7.e as during 2003–2018.
### Total catch in 2020 relative to advice value 2019 (9225 t) for plaice caught in Division 7.d.
$ Total catch in 2020 relative to advice value 2019 (7864 t) for the Division 7.d plaice stock.
* “Wanted” and “unwanted” catch are used to describe fish that would be landed and discarded in the absence of the EU landing obligation, based on discard rate estimates for 2016–2018.
** SSB 2021 relative to SSB 2020.
*** Wanted catch in 2020 relative to the ICES estimates of landings in 2018 (3980 t) for the Division 7.d plaice stock.
^ Differences between the total catch and the sum of wanted and unwanted catches result from rounding.
^^ Wanted catch in 2020 relative to the ICES estimates of landings in 2018 (5 004 t) for plaice caught in Division 7.d.
