The most recent assessment suggests that this 0.2 value is a bit low. The most recent assessment, which we have with this new model, is able to estimate what the level of natural mortality is. This is a new feature, and it's a very important one. It suggests that natural mortality is quite variable annually, so it takes this into account. We think that natural mortality may be a little bit higher, and it's also much higher in younger fish than it is in older ones.
