PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SCIENTIFIC OBSERVERS MANUAL

The Secretariat has made changes to the Observers Manual to reflect the current advice from the Scientific Committee and its Working Groups. These changes are presented as an annotated Table of Contents, with a full track-change version of the Manual provided as an appendix. Two additional sections are included at the end of this document which require endorsement from the Working Group. These are:  Proposal for a revised method for recording Krill Feeding Observations, and  Proposal for a revised fish sampling protocol for krill fisheries.
