    Abstract

    Commercial catch rates are important information for scientific evaluation of the krill resource and potential impacts of fishing on the ecosystem. Imprecise information confounds analysis and might undermine efficient and correct management actions. The following procedure now established and standardized on all vessels conducting continuous trawling, ensures that the catch is estimated and recorded at the correct space and time.
