Aggregation. It looks like you have summarised abundance/weight at the haul level (i.e., for each trawl, you have summed the number of captured individuals or their weight across all captured individuals (irrespective of size/sex). Is this correct? If so, I think it might help to make this explicit in the manuscript. It might also be worth considering whether you can provide the processed but pre-aggregation compiled dataset as part of FISHGLOB in the future to broaden the potential use cases of this resource.

we will not make the size/sex-based data available at this point

I added a sentence in the MS to make it clear!
