Symbol Footnotes
* Total catches and projected discards are calculated from projected landings based on the average discard rate in 2020–2022 (12.5% in weight)
** SSB 2025 relative to SSB 2024
*** Total catch in 2024 relative to TAC 2023 (605 tonnes).
**** The MSYBtrigger/ Bpa option was left blank because it cannot be achieved in 2025, even with zero catch in 2024.
^ Advice value for 2024 relative to the corresponding 2023 value (605tonnes).
