Thank you.

I'll start with Mr. Bernatchez, but I'm not sure who might be able to answer.

Are there other factors that are impacting the food availability for redfish? Are there other predators competing for the same redfish food? For example, our pinnipeds prey on shrimp, reducing the shrimp numbers. Are other stocks doing the same thing?

See context to find out what was said next.
