Symbol Footnotes
* Due to the mixed fisheries for eastern and western Baltic cod in Subdivision (SD) 24, it would be expected that 1532 tonnes of eastern Baltic cod is harvested in SD 24 in 2021, when the commercial catch of 4635 tonnes is taken from the western Baltic cod stock (see Table 5 in ICES, 2020a). It is assumed that the geographical distribution of commercial catches from the western stock in 2021 is the same as observed in 2019 (26% in SD 24), and the ratio between eastern and western stock in the commercial cod catch in SD 24 is the same as observed in 2019 (1.27).
** Catch in 2021 compared to catch in 2019 (11 938 tonnes).
