Reviewing the need for bottle test for specified longline gear configurations

During the SISO review several questions were raised about the need for continued use of bottle tests to allow an exemption from night setting in CCAMLR longline fisheries. There are now a number of CMs that are interrelated with respect to seabird mitigation and it may be timely to update (and simplify) the seabird mitigation elements of these measures. The changes that are proposed do not seek to change any of the practical and highly effective measures currently in place.
