Symbol Footnotes
* For this autumn-spawning stock, the SSB is determined at spawning time and is influenced by fisheries between 1st January and spawning (September).
** SSB 2018 relative to SSB 2017.
*** Catch 2018 relative to agreed scientific monitoring TAC of 5800 t (EC, 2016/0203).
^ The Blim, Bpa and MSY Btrigger options were left blank because Blim cannot be achieved in 2018 even with zero catch advice.
^^ There is no catch option for 2018 that is consistent with the combined stocks recovering to above Blim.
^^^ Fishing mortality corresponding to low impact on stock status.
