My information is that the number of sustainably fished stocks went from 32 in 2018 to 35 in 2019 and the number of stocks overfished went from 16 in 2018 to 13 in 2019. There is a reduction in the number of overfished stock and a commensurate increase in the number of sustainably fished stocks. I will get the Deputy a briefing note on it. We might be trading figures back and forth and perhaps missing the point, so I will get the data for the Deputy.
