It's important to first identify the difference between the science-based aspect of this in terms of establishing a total allowable catch and the work that goes into that science, which my colleagues can speak to, as well as the inputs provided by harvesters, whether through at-sea observers or other forms of monitoring, or the work done prior to the commercial fishery by the experimental and indexed fisheries that took place prior to 2024.
How that total allowable catch is then shared comes down to more art than science, and one has to weigh various considerations of those factors I noted earlier: historic dependence, adjacency and other factors.
