Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all of the witnesses for being here with this study. It's been going on a long time, yet there still seems to be so much more we need to know.
Mr. Beamish, if I could start with you, I want to thank you for your efforts towards understanding the open ocean survival with the expeditions that you've undertaken.
Could you, really briefly, tell us if there were any surprises that you found in that expedition regarding what species you found or the intermixing of stocks in that ocean environment?
