Symbol Footnotes
* “Wanted” and “unwanted” catch are used to described fish that would be landed and discarded in the absence of the EU landing obligation, based on discard rate estimates for 2015–2017.
** The split of catch between wanted catch, unwanted catch, and industrial bycatch (IBC) in 2019 was done using partial age-dependent fishing mortalities as forecasting input. Partial Fs were calculated based on total F-at-age and the numbers-at-age per catch category as estimated in the assessment (average exploitation pattern of the three most recent years).
*** The human consumption (HC) catch split between Subarea 4 and Division 7.d in 2018 is the same as the proportion of HC catch between the areas in 2017: 81.5% from Subarea 4 and 18.5% from Division 7.d. This assumes that management for Division 7.d is separate from Subarea 7. Total catches are based on a combined discard rate for Subarea 4 and Division 7.d.
# Proposed EU multiannual plan (MAP) for the North Sea (EU, 2016).
## For this stock, FMSY upper = FMSY.
^ SSB 2020 relative to SSB 2019.
^^ Human consumption catch (HC catch) for Subarea 4 in 2019 relative to TAC for Subarea 4 and Division 2.a in 2018 (22 057 t).
^^^ Total catch 2019 relative to the advice value 2018 (26 191 t).
+ Total F is calculated as the sum of partial fishing mortalities.
++ F(IBC) assumed to be constant in all scenarios at status quo value.
+++ Multiplier only applied to F(UW) and F(WC), F(IBC) constant.
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 2018 and 2019 is as in 2017.
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; whg.27.47d).
