Okay.
It wasn't the intent of the report to suggest that non-government people identify what quotas should be. What the report was advocating, or the position that was being put forth, was that there should be three critical things in place from a fisheries management perspective. There should be a target—that is a target level of abundance that you want a fish stock to rebuild to and maintain its level at. There should be a limit—in other words, a level of stock abundance below which you do not want to fall. And in between that limit and that target, the percentage of the overall biomass that you can exploit from a harvest perspective is prescribed by what's called a harvest control rule. So if, for example, you are very close to the target, you would be permitted to take a greater percentage of what's available than if you were very close to the limit.
Many countries have put in place these harvest control rules. Once government has decided that a harvest control rule will form the basis for a fisheries management plan, then it relies on the government scientists to determine how close or how far away a given stock is from the target and reference. Then it would simply follow the harvest control rule and that would form the basis for the minister's decision as to what the quota should be.
