Symbol Footnotes
* “Projected” (marketable) landings and discards 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 2019–2021. Total catch is equal to the sum of “Projected landings” and “Projected discards”. Both projected landing and projected discards refer to Subarea 4 and Subdivision 20, calculated as the projected total stock catch (i.e. total stock catches which includes catches of the subarea 4 and subdivision 20 plaice stock that are taken in Division 7.d) and deducting the catches of the subarea 4 and subdivision 20 plaice stock forecast to be taken in Division 7.d in 2023. The subtracted value (278 t of projected landings and 326 t of projected discards) is estimated based on the plaice catch advice for Division 7.d for 2023.
** Including BMS landings (EU stocks), assuming recent discard rates.
*** SSB 2024 relative to SSB 2023.
^ Total catch in 2023 relative to the advice value 2022 and TAC (142 508 tonnes).
^^ Fprojected landings and Fprojected discards do not add up to the Ftotal as they are calculated using different ages.
