#	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 2003–2021: 16.46 % of the plaice landed in Division 7.d is assumed to originate from the North Sea and the western English Channel which is equivalent to an additional 19.70% on top of the landings from the Division 7.d plaice stock. This ratio is therefore added to the predicted values for the Division 7.d plaice stock and applies to total catch, projected landings, and projected discards.
##	Total catch of plaice in division 7d in 2023 relative to the advice value 2022 (7566 tonnes)
^	Differences between total catch and the sum of projected landings and discards result from rounding.
^^	Total catch of plaice in division 7d in 2023 relative to the ICES estimates of catches in 2021 (5442 tonnes)
