First, with respect to the 3M cod, the advice that NAFO received from the Scientific Council was that a TAC could be established anywhere between 4,125 tonnes and above 8,000 tonnes and we would still see rebuilding of the stock with it being reopened. A TAC of 4,125 would have, according to the scientists, projected a rebuilding at 125%, where 5,500 would provide for a rebuilding at 115%.
