4. A candidate process for managing the krill fishery at a local scale for krill predators, particularly in the early phases of the development of the krill fishery

   Abstract:  In this paper, we develop a candidate management system for the krill fishery suitable ... for achieving objectives for krill and its predators in local areas. We also indicate how this ... management system can be made operational in the early phases of a fishery in a local area, which can then be ... enhanced as the fishery develops, including testing future management procedures and in adapting them to a ...
