From the pelagic fleet and the equipment that is involved, I am not sure that there is necessarily a species in our economic zone that would be commensurate with the kind of volumes involved there. Is it possible that they could find fisheries in some other part of the globe? That is possible, but there are certain restrictions in the context of delisting boats, etc. I have heard a number of suggestions that may come to us at later stages as to how we might address the economic viability of the fleet in terms of using different equipment in different jurisdictions. That is a wider matter. In answer to the Deputy's specific point about the potential for a domino effect that would give rise to stress being put on the inshore fleet, it will not result from the activities of those craft.

Will the Deputy remind me of her second question?
