# 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 2003–2020: 15.88% 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, projected landings, and projected discards.
## Total catch in 2022 relative to the advice value 2021 (9959 tonnes)
^ Differences between total catch and the sum of projected landings and discards result from rounding.
