GMT comments

I got an email from the GMT with a couple of questions it would be good to be aware of going into the STAR panel:

1. There is what appears to be an incorrect number in Table 8, Age 1+ biomass for 2023 (195,973) [KLO: I am guessing this table is machine generated, but do be prepared to defend that number.]
2. Table 7 is not what I was expecting, I am not sure where the ABC values came from... I was expecting something more akin to Table xiv from the Copper assessment where there is a column with assumed catch ( the values I provided) The ABC for 2023 is 2078 mt and for 2024 it is 2030 mt. I am also not sure what predicted OFL means for 2023 & 2024, those OFL numbers are 3177, and 3162, respectively.
