   (b) Target species and bycatch species are specified by way of fishstock codes, being Fishstock Codes defined in the Second Schedule of the Fisheries (Reporting) Regulations 1990; and

   (c) Methods are specified by way of method codes, being Method Codes defined in the Second Schedule of the Fisheries (Reporting) Regulations 1990†.

3. Offering a lease of quota in lieu of paying deemed value—(1) As from the date this notice comes into effect, any commercial fisherman who could be required under section 282D of the Fisheries Act 1983 to pay the deemed value of any fish that is specified as a bycatch species in this notice, may offer the Director-General a lease or sublease of the right to take fish, being fish specified in this notice as a target species in relation to that bycatch species, as specified in the tables below.

   (2) The ratios, as specified in the tables, specify the amounts of target species which may, in lieu of such payments, be accepted by way of lease or sub-lease in relation to the amount of the bycatch species for which the offer of quota is made: e.g. if a fisher could be required to pay deemed value for 1 tonne of ELE 3 and wishes to offer a lease of FLA 3 then the amount that can be offered is 1 tonne × 4.61 = 4.61 tonnes of FLA 3.
