May I make a comment about this? I know the connection between stability and length is that the fishing vessel safety regulations do not tie in with the cut-offs, the lengths that are used by DFO. They have been established simply for regulatory convenience and they do not tie in to those same lengths. It's one of the reasons we put the feet in the presentation, because it is different from what the Department of Fisheries and Oceans uses for fisheries management purposes.
