    Abstract

    Following feedback on the previous iteration of this report, this document presents an updated analysis of observer sampling rates for each vessel that fished for krill in the last five completed seasons (2019–2023) in Subareas 48.1–48.3. The analysis now includes sample sizes and warp observation rates computed as a function of fishing event duration. Current sampling rates requirements are given to aid in the interpretation of results.
