Dead+surviving projected discards.
**
Fprojected discards concerns dead projected discards only.
***
SSB 2028 relative to SSB 2027.
^
Advice value for 2027 relative to the advice value for 2026 (614 tonnes). TAC 2026 was equal to the advice value.
^^
These options were left blank because they cannot be achieved in 2028, even with zero catch in 2027.
^^^
The probability of SSB being below Blim in 2028. This probability relates to the short-term probability of SSB lt Blim and is not comparable to the long-term probability of SSB lt Blim tested in simulations when estimating fishing mortality reference points.
