Table IV-4. Abundance, precision, trend, and recovery factors for endangered species and Cook Inlet beluga.  (The end point for use in the decision tree in Figure IV-2 is in italics if a change would be required, and has an asterisk if a change may be required depending on the increase in recovery time chosen for the different risk levels.  Note that the only case where choice of the threshold criterion makes a difference -- see Tables IV-1 and IV-2 -- is for the central North Pacific humpback whale, but that both end points I and J result in a low risk rating.)
