| Summary: | The climate impact is mediated through the relationship between the temperature and Greenland halibut production rate observed in the past. The contours represent the risk expressed as the probability of not achieving the target biomass objective (mean biomass from 1995–2000) after 10 years for different fishing and climate scenarios. For risk levels 50% and lower (shaded green), risk equivalent strategies are possible to compensate for CC by adjusting relative exploitation rate. The actual exploitation rate and temperature scenario is overlaid on the contours. |
