      The meeting will be convened by Dr M. Belchier (UK). The Secretariat will outline local arrangements for the meeting. The agenda of the meeting will be discussed and adopted. The following provisional agenda covers items to be considered in plenary session by WG-FSA.
       

      2.1     Organisation of the meeting

      WG-FSA will undertake biennial assessments for the fisheries for Dissostichus eleginoides in Subarea 48.3 and Division 58.5.2, and the fisheries for Dissostichus spp. in Subareas 88.1 and 88.2, in addition to other stocks and areas as set out in Table 1, in order to provide the Scientific Committee with advice on precautionary catch limits and other issues relevant to management of CCAMLR fisheries.

      2.2     Subgroup organisation and coordination
      • The Working Group will undertake the majority of the work identified in the adopted agenda in subgroups. Progress reports will be given from each subgroup to plenary sessions, with the opportunity for additional discussion and consideration. The prioritisation and scheduling of subgroups will be directed by the Convener. [Note that, as this is a year of biennial assessments, there may be a reduced scope for subgroup consideration of non-target catch and biology/ecology]

      Subject to the views of the Working Group the following subgroups will be established:

      • Subgroup on Assessments – review preliminary assessments and further develop stock assessments and estimation of precautionary catch limits of target species. It is anticipated that assessments will be completed and reviewed by the end of the first week, and assessment results will be used to provide advice on precautionary catch limits (agenda item 4).
      • Subgroup on research to inform current or future assessments – review information from research fishing in 2012/13, and review and evaluate submitted research plans for research fishing under CM 21-02 and CM 24-01 including the relevant advice of WG-SAM-13 (Agenda Item 6).
      • Subgroup on non-target catch in CCAMLR fisheries – review catches of fish and non-VME invertebrates taken as by-catch, as well as incidental catches of seabirds and marine mammals in longline and trawl fisheries (Agenda Item 9).

      3.1     Data requirements

      The Working Group will review available information from fisheries, research fishing activities and surveys relevant to stock assessments. The Working Group should consider, inter alia:

      • catch and effort data
      • information on IUU fishing
      • catches of D. eleginoides in waters adjacent to the Convention Area
      • scientific observer information
      • depredation.
      4.1     Report from the Working Group on Statistics, Assessments and Modelling (WG-SAM)
      4.2     Review of preliminary assessments

      The Working Group will review the inputs to be used for stock assessments, particularly those that have changed since the last assessment, and submitted papers that summarise preliminary stock assessments (see Table 1 [Agenda Item 2.1]). The Working Group will also review and evaluate new information proposed for use in assessments. Authors of preliminary stock assessments should prepare brief presentations (not exceeding 10 minutes each) which summarise the methods, model assumptions, fits and diagnostics, projections, and estimates of precautionary catch limits.

In 2012 the Working Group agreed that the potential for bottom fisheries to cause significant adverse impacts to VMEs could be evaluated with available fishing data, and did not require information on proposed effort for the upcoming season (SC-CAMLR-XXXI, Annex 7, paragraph 6.11).
