Species profiles: Target species and common by-catch species

A project is proposed to provide CCAMLR with a detailed description of all species which are or have been subject to exploitation at one time in the Southern Ocean. It is envisaged that CCAMLR will benefit considerably from the project both in terms of its publicity and perception in the context of international organisations.  This paper provides a brief outline of the work proposed, work priorities, possible participation, length of the project and costs incurred.
