** SSB 2026 relative to SSB 2025.
*** Total catch in 2025 relative to ICES advice for 2024 (35 902 tonnes for the Gulf of Riga herring stock).
^ ICES advice for Flower for 2025 relative to ICES advice for EU MAP range Flower for 2024 (27 696 tonnes).
^^ ICES advice for Fupper for 2025 relative to ICES advice for EU MAP range Fupper for 2024 (41 370tonnes).
^^^ The probability of SSB being below Blim in 2026. This probability relates to the short-term probability of SSB < Blim and is not comparable to the long-term probability of SSB < Blim tested in simulations when estimating fishing mortality reference points.
