According to recommendations of Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (SC-CAMLR-XXVIII/3, paragraph 3.7), 2009 in Bergen, due to the results of considering Document WG-EMM-09/11, in which the uncertainty of krill amount perished while its trawling at fishery is focused, the recommendations were submitted on carrying out the experiment to determine the rate of krill ‘escape mortality’ on fishing or research vessel during Antarctic krill fishery.
Abstract:
When establishing the ad-hoc Technical Group for At-Sea Operations (TASO), the Scientific Committee tasked it with the development of minimum standards to facilitate accreditation of observer programs participating in the CCAMLR SISO. At its 2009 meeting, TASO requested that the TASO co-conveners outline the elements of an accreditation framework, and a workplan for it implementation, for consideration by the Scientific Committee. This paper outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Scientific Committee, the Secretariat and Members in implementing a proposed accreditation framework, and timeframes to establish an accreditation framework for observer programs participating in the CCAMLR SISO.
