The Scientific Committee considered the assessment of Dissostichus spp. in data-poor fisheries to be of a high priority (SC-CAMLR-XXIX, paragraphs 3.125 to 3.145). The use of different gear types for the implementation of a multi-Member research on Dissostichus spp. in East Antarctica (Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2) in the seasons 2011/12 - 2017/18 is a critical factor for their efficiency and reliability. In the context of the discussion of the Scientific Committee (SC-CAMLR-XXXVII p.3.338-3.144) we propose the research program on Dissostichus spp by the multi-vessels in Divisions 58.4.1 for seasons 2020/21-2022/23 based on standardized sampling longline gear and survey stratified design. It is planned participation of one the Russian vessel as well a the vessels of Member countries. The program is carries out under the CM 24-01. The description of the program is presented in accordance with Appendix CM 24-01/A. Research proponent self-assessment form is shown as Annex 1. Vessel tagging procedures survey is shown be the Annex 2.
Research Plan under CM 21-02, paragraph 6. Proposal for new multi-Member research on Dissostichus spp. in Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2 for the seasons 2020/21–2022/23
