Thank you.

The natural mortality rate for herring and mackerel is said to be 60%, which is almost entirely due to seal predation, and fishing only alters 5% to 6% of the stocks.

Do you also have an analysis of what you are going to do about pinnipeds?

What are the possible solutions to reduce predation of herring and mackerel?
