Abstract

Following the recommendation by WG-FSA-2022 (paragraph 8.26) to provide an analysis of SISO observer sampling rates in the krill fishery to WG-EMM-2023, this document presents an analysis of sampling rates for each vessel that fished for krill in the last five completed seasons (2018–2022). Current sampling rates requirements are given to aid in the interpretation of results, noting that WS-KFO-2023 may provide useful perspectives on this interpretation.
