    Abstract

    As requested by WG-FSA-2023 (paragraph 2.12), the Secretariat has begun the process of separating the C1 form into separate reporting templates for krill and finfish trawl fisheries. This paper presents a draft C1 form to WG-ASAM for discussion on the proposed inclusions to advance the revision of the krill fishery management approach and to consider whether the form can be used by vessels to report krill length frequency data collected during acoustic surveys.
