TAGS
For the sustainable management of the HIMI fishery, AFMA and the Australian fishing industry require further research to (1) support and improve data collection programs, (2) reduce sources of uncertainty in icefish and toothfish assessments, (3) provide avenues for adaptation of the fishery to climate change, and (4) monitor, evaluate and mitigate fish and skate/ray bycatch, seabird bycatch and cetacean depredation. There is also a need to support Australian research activities in CCAMLR’s exploratory fisheries, in particular in developing research plans and delivering progress towards the development of a sustainable toothfish harvest strategy in the AAT.
