Symbol Footnotes
* “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 average discard rate estimates for 2014–2016.
** SSB 2019 relative to SSB 2018 (66 060 t).
*** Total catch in 2018 relative to TAC in 2017 (16 123 t).
^ Differences between the total catch and the sum of wanted and unwanted catches result from rounding.
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. HAD: Each fleet stops fishing when its individual haddock share is exhausted.
D. POK: Each fleet stops fishing when its individual saithe share is exhauste
E. SQ (status quo) effort scenario: The effort of each fleet in 2017 and 2018 is as in 2016.
F. 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.
G. Range scenario: where 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).
