Paragraph 8 (a) Delete the words after ‘shall not exceed’ in the third line to the end of the sub-paragraph and insert in their place ‘3,500 blue whale units in 1966/67. The total catch for 1967/68 shall be less than the combined sustainable yields of the fin and sei whale stocks as determined on the basis of more precise scientific evidence.’
