Yeah, obviously 2018-19 were some of the lower, lower sea ice years on record in the Bering Sea. So, um, 2018, you don't see the effect yet, but 2019 and 2020, there was definitely sort of a lagged effect there in terms of the bycatch. And so, um, the catch was lower relative to, to those years. And 2017 was, um, that was a high-run year, so I think that's the signal that you're seeing in 2017. But it was also quite warm.
