Fish populations naturally vary from year to year due to a number of factors including interspecies interactions and changes in the environment, as well as human fishing pressure... Thus to get the maximum sustainable yield from a fishery, it may be necessary to alter the total allowable catch each year to incorporate these fluctuations in population size... The current annual yield(CAY) is calculated yearly[, ] and it incorporates these fluctuations by applying a fixed reference level of fish mortality to the current fishable biomass... 3, record 1, English, - current%20annual%20yield

A curl may be wide or narrow. When very wide it is usually called a roll, when narrow a tendril or a filament curl. These descriptions have no reference to the diameter of the curl, but only to the width of hair forming the circle of curl.

The term "drainage" refers to a specific valley. We commonly use watershed to describe locations in the landscape and so the conditions can vary between drainages(which means between valleys). Drainage refers to the "river" which all the water of that valley drains into. [Reference : Avalanche Specialist, Parks Canada. ] 13, record 3, English, - drainage%20basin

Skin dose. The limit for skin is set by reference to deterministic(formerly known as non-stochastic) effects. These are effects such as reddening or ulceration of the skin which vary in intensity in proportion to the dose, and also have a threshold dose below which no effects appear. The proposed limit, which is below the threshold, is 500 mSv in any dosimetry year, averaged over any 1 cm² area at a nominal depth of 7 mg cm², regardless of the area exposed. 3, record 5, English, - skin%20dose
