For some stocks, the United States shares productivity with other fishing nations because 

 these stocks range beyond the U.S. EEZ. For the purposes of this report, the productivity 

 of transboundarv species is compiled for the entire stock and sometimes provided for the 

 prorated portion of the stock within the U.S. EEZ. OLO 'S'i^ reports both total productiv- 

 ity and the prorated U.S. share of the stocks based on the ratio of the U.S. RAY to total 

 RAY. The U.S. RAY is taken primarily within the U.S. EEZ.
