Symbol Footnotes
* Assuming 2025 discard rate.
** Biomass 2028 relative to biomass 2027.
^ Advice value for 2027 relative to the advice value for 2026. No previous catch advice for comparison.
^^ F2027/FMSY differs from the Ftarget in the HCR because a percentile different to the median is used to calculate the catch.
