* The EU multiannual plan (MAP; EU, 2019).
** SSB 2028 relative to SSB 2027 (8 616 tonnes).
*** Advice values for 2027 relative to the corresponding 2026 values (FMSY 3 619 tonnes, FMSY lower 2 721 tonnes, FMSY upper 4 428 tonnes). All other scenarios are relative to the 2026 value for the FMSY scenario (3 619 tonnes).
^ 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, fishing mortalities less than FPA have been shown to have less than 5% probability of the stock being below Blim in the long term when tested through simulations when estimating fishing mortality reference point.
^^ The probability is not exactly 0.50 because of the asymmetric error distribution.
^^^ 0.1 means less than 1%
