* Assuming recent discard rate.
** Including below minimum size (BMS) landings (EU stocks), assuming recent discard rate, including surviving discards.
*** SSB 2028 relative to SSB 2027.
^ Advice value for 2027 relative to advice value for 2026 (16 533 tonnes; [ICES, 2025a]).
^^ Note that, under the current stock conditions, the target SSB of these scenarios are not achievable within the limits of fishing pressure used in the forecasting procedure.
^^^ The probability of SSB being below Blim in 2028. 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.
