Exploitation rates corresponding to the initial 2021 sardine TACs and TABs were estimated, with the January 2021 allocations corresponding to an exploitation rate of about 6% on the west component, if all catches ≤14cm were ignored. An increase of 1000t in the >14cm sardine TAB increased this exploitation rate by 128% to about 14%.
