1     Introduction
1.1     Opening of the meeting
1.2     Adoption of the agenda and appointment of rapporteurs, proposed schedule for the meeting
2     Focus Topic on krill fishery management

The Scientific Committee has endorsed the risk assessment framework that was used to assess and advise the Commission of the risks associated with spatial distributions of catches as part of the review of Conservatin Measure (CM) 51-07.

The approaches to incorporating these data into the risk assessment process are well described in WG-FSA-16/37 Rev. 1, 16/38 Rev. 1 and SC-CAMLR-XXXV/BG/37.

The risk assessment used requires data layers on the spatial (and temporal) distribution of krill, predator demand and the krill fishery.

The process of updating the data layers and their incorporation into the risk assessment process would form a key element of addressing the Commission’s request to provide advice on the risks of an expanding fishery as part of the update of CM 51-07 and a preferred option for the management of the krill fishery.

This focus topic of WG-EMM will assemble data layers, conduct the risk assessment and use the outcomes of this process to provide a preferred option for the management of the krill fishery in Area 48.

2.1     Data layers for risk assessment of spatial and temporal distribution

Predator demand  – from colony location, foraging distribution (during breeding and year-round)

Fishery – catch and effort of the krill fishery
 

2.1.1     2019 multinational synoptic large-scale krill survey
2.2     Risk-assessment for the krill fishery

Critical periods – life-history constraints and fishery overlaps

Risk metrics and outcomes

Feedback mechanisms – monitoring indices

2.3     Development of a preferred option for the management of the krill fishery in Area 48

Krill fishery assessment models

Applicability of CCAMLR decisions rules to krill fisheries

Spatial scales of management

Operational management
