What next? In the next two weeks, the biomass is
expected to continue to improve. The quota of 1.11 Mn T
represents only 17.8% of the 6.22 Mn T biomass calculated
by IMARPE in its most recent evaluation, well below the
usual 25% of the past years. Actually, this is the reason why
the current quota is one of the lowest in the past years, with
the exception of 2012 and 2014 (graph 1).
