    Abstract

    The paper documents a protocol for assessing warp strike occurrence for seabirds in trawl fisheries, and sets out the sampling plan, forms and protocols used to sample warp strikes in the southern squid fishery in 2005 in New Zealand. Results of this sampling are set out in Abraham (unpublished – also submitted to WG-FSA).
