3. MINUTES AND MINUTES

3.1 Adoption of the agenda for the Meeting The agenda for this meeting was adopted. The chair advised that the applications to amend the standard will be dealt with starting at 1:15 PM to allow Norm Grant to attend by teleconference and have input. The project manager advised that Kyaw Kyaw Soe Hlaing from FRDC will provide a demonstration of the functionality of the Fish Names database which is currently being developed during the day. Resolution 30.5. FNC adopted the agenda for the meeting as amended.

3.2 Adoption of minutes from previous meetings The minutes from the FNC 29 Teleconference held on 22 April 2016 have been previously circulated, and were distributed as Attachment 04: FNC 29 Final Draft Minutes The Project Managers report was distributed as Attachment 05 Project Manager Report Resolution 30.6. FNC confirmed the minutes of the FNC 29 Teleconference held on 22 April 2016 as a true record.

4. ISSUES RELATING TO FRDC AS THE STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT ORGANISATION FRDC is accredited as a standards setting body responsible for the Australian Fish Names Standard and other potential standards within its scope as an accredited SDO. Specific issues of note were raised as below.

Document Location: 15:44:02 20-Jul-17 Page 7 of 35 https://frdc1.sharepoint.com/sites/FishNames/Meetings/FNC 30 Minutes.docx

4.1 Scheduled Standards Australia Reaccreditation Audit The Project Manager reported that the FRDC accreditation audit is scheduled for 22nd and 23rd September. All policies and procedures will be reviewed prior to and after this audit to address any issues raised. This is a full reaccreditation audit which is conducted every three years.

4.2 Technical Barriers to Trade Analysis One of the specific requirements that FNC as a Standards Reference Body and FRDC as a Standards Development Organisation have is to ensure adherence to the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade requirements. As initially reported by a memo to FNC Members on 12 October 2015, the FNC Project Manager conducted a review of the requirements and has put the attached memo together for noting by FNC which was distributed as Attachment 06 TBT provisions and adherance.pdf The Project Manager addressed the report and identified key issues that the FNC needs to be aware of. In general, the main issues that emerge from the analysis relate to international standardisation elements which the FNC and the FRDC adhere to and in many areas such as Public Consultation, exceeds Resolution 30.7. FNC members noted the contents of the analysis of the Technical Barriers to Trade and agreed that the FNC and FRDC as the SDO meets the WTO TBT criteria.

4.3 Attendance at Workshop on Writing Australian Standards The Project Manager reported that he and Tanya Corcoran attended a Standards Australia workshop, “How to Write an Australian Standard”. As an SDO, FRDC standards must abide by certain design standards to access the Australian Standards logo. After that, the rules are as the SDO sees fit. There is some merit in ensuring that the formatting of the content complies with the elements of good standardisation. A number of minor issues of terminology were identified in our current standard where we are probably not compliant. These issues will be fixed prior to the next date of publishing of AS 5300. Resolution 30.8. FNC members noted the report on the Australian Standards writing workshop and work activities emanating from the workshop.

4.4 Standards Australia SDO Round Table The Project Manager reported that an SDO round table was held in on Tuesday 31 May 2016. John Wilson and Tanya Corcoran represented FRDC at the meeting. In his opening remarks, Chair of the Standards Australia Board, Mr Richard Brooks described attendee participation as a critical component of Standards Australia’s commitment to support SDOs. Mr Brooks also discussed the evolving nature of the standards and conformance infrastructure in Australia, detailing Standards Australia’s ambitious digital transformation plan and the benefits that changes in technology can bring to stakeholders and SDOs.

Document Location: 15:44:02 20-Jul-17 Page 8 of 35 https://frdc1.sharepoint.com/sites/FishNames/Meetings/FNC 30 Minutes.docx

The round table was attended by representatives from four accredited SDOs, members of the Standards Australia Board, and others interested in accreditation. The main topics of discussion were:  SDO accreditation application processes;  Understanding, planning and preparing for SDO auditing; and  Public outreach and SDO promotion through Standards Australia’s public affairs and news outlets. Standards Australia noted that information on accreditation process, SDO responsibilities and international engagement is available on Standards Australia’s website at http://www.standards.org.au/StandardsDevelopment/accreditation/Pages/default.aspx SDOs were invited to regularly provide updates on their activities which could then be promoted through Standards Australia’s monthly e-news. The Round Table resolved that SDOs could benefit from additional Standards Australia training and guidance on key SDO issues including:  Project selection  Standards development processes; and  Stakeholder engagement. The next SDO round table will be held in late 2016 and will focus on standards development processes, including a look at Standards Australia’s project prioritisation and document development processes.

5. STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURES Discussion The Fish Names policies and procedures that guide the standards development activities of the FRDC are regularly reviewed to harmonise with existing FRDC quality procedures and to address any issues arising from Standards Australia audits. These documents were distributed to FNC members as:

 ATTACHMENT 07: FRDC Standards Development Policy  ATTACHMENT 08: Standards Development Procedure  ATTACHMENT 09: Fish Names Committee Procedures The Project Manager reported that all documents will be revised prior to the Standards Australia audit. Resolution 30.9. FNC members noted the report and status of amended policy and procedure documents

6. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ANNEX A OF THE FISH NAMES STANDARD (AS 5300-2015)

Document Location: 15:44:02 20-Jul-17 Page 9 of 35 https://frdc1.sharepoint.com/sites/FishNames/Meetings/FNC 30 Minutes.docx

A working group comprising Gordon Yearsley, Don Tuma, Gus Dannoun (ex-officio), and Alan Snow has been established to conduct the pre-assessment of all applications to amend the AFNS. The pre-assessment will essentially determine: I. If they have addressed the required criteria II. Whether the name already exists. III. Any other information required that will assist the FNC in its determinations. Further input has been provided by Karen Gowlett-Holmes. An audit of inconsistencies between the names used in the Status of key Australian Fish Stocks dataset(SAFS), the Australian Fish Names Standard, and the CSIRO CAAB entries was conducted with Carolyn Stewardson from FRDC. The SAFS dataset is located at http://fish.gov.au/Pages/default.aspx This has led to a number of applications as listed below. Briefing notes have been distributed to FNC members over the past three months as listed below:  ATTACHMENT 10 - Briefing Note Audit of SAF entries and AFNS 2016  ATTACHMENT 11- Briefing Note Amusium balloti  ATTACHMENT 12- Briefing Note FNC 30 Chaceon bicolor  ATTACHMENT 13 – Briefing Note Nemadactylus macropterus Applications as prepared and provided to FNC for initial evaluation are listed below.

The species is commonly known in the marketplace and as such the proposed name was amended from Eastern Balmain Bug to Balmain Bug. Resolution 30.18. FNC supported Application 260 (as amended) to add the SFN Balmain Bug for Ibacus peronii Leach, 1815 to proceed to public consultation.

6.2.10 Application 261 To add the SFN Shortfoot Bug Ibacus brevipes Bate, 1888 The original application proposed the name Serrate Fan Lobster. FNC amended the application to use the SFN Shortfoot Bug in line with other species of Balmain Bugs. Resolution 30.19. FNC supported Application 261 (as amended) to add the SFN Shortfoot Bug Ibacus brevipes Bate, 1888 to proceed to public consultation.

6.2.11 Application 262 To add the SFN Honey Bug for Ibacus brucei Holthuis, 1977 It is noted that the SAFS database has referred to this species as Honey Bug. The original proposed amendment was for the SFN Bruce’s Bug. FNC considered the application and are proposing the name Honey Bug as used in SAFS. Resolution 30.20. FNC supported Application 262 (as amended) to add the SFN Honey Bug for Ibacus brucei Holthuis, 1977 to proceed to public consultation.

6.2.12 Application 263 To add the SFN Smooth Bug for Ibacus chacei Brown & Holthuis, 1998 Resolution 30.21. FNC supported Application 263 to add the SFN Smooth Bug for Ibacus chacei Brown & Holthuis, 1998 to proceed to public consultation.

6.2.13 Application 264 To add the SFN Mud Bug for Thenus parindicus Burton & Davie, 2007 This is one of two applications relating to Thenus species arising from the review of inconsistencies between the names used in the Status of key Australian Fish Stocks dataset(SAFS), the Australian Fish Names Standard, and the CSIRO CAAB entries. The list of applications as distributed are listed below:  ATTACHMENT 26 - App 264 Thenus parindicus Application  ATTACHMENT 27 - App 265 Thenus australiensis Application The proposed amendments to the AFNS are highlighted below

has been granted subject to public consultation and a final decision by the FNC at the next meeting. 6.2.16 Application 267 To add the SFN Bigeye Grenadier for Macrourus holotrachys Günther, 1878 ATTACHMENT 29 - App 267 Macrourus holotrachys Application This application has been directed from Lisa McKenzie who asked to have it listed. The Project Manager advised that a draft application had been received which was presented to FNC for initial evaluation. No formal application has been received to date from the proponent. The proposed amendments to the AFNS are highlighted below

WHIPTAILS — Macrouridae

37 232036 Ridgescale Whiptail Macrourus carinatus (Günther, 1878)

Bigeye Grenadier Macrourus holotrachys Günther, 1878

FNC members commented that the species is not caught in the AFZ and may be a case where the species is being imported and re-exported. The species is generally reported to be distributed through the Southwest Atlantic: so far known only from the Patagonian slope from east of the Rio de la Plata to north of the Falkland Islands and off Shag Rock west of South Georgia. It can be expected also on the west coast of Chile, but its presence there, as well as in other regions where it has been reported must be confirmed. (FishBase) It is known in FishBase as Bigeye Grenadier but is a whiptail and as such a whiptail would be the preferred name. Resolution 30.26. FNC resolved that Application 267 (as amended) to add the SFN Bigeye Grenadier for Macrourus holotrachys Günther, 1878 not proceed until a formal application and the appropriate fee is received. Resolution 30.27. The Project Manager will circulate the completed application out of session for approval. Resolution 30.28. The applicant to be advised that consideration should be given to including the name Whiptail in the candidate name.

6.2.17 Application 228 to add the name White Banana Prawn for the species Penaeus merguiensis FNC 26 had previously approved the addition of Redleg Banana Prawn Penaeus indicus as part of a number of applications but did not approve Application 228 to add the name White Banana Prawn for Penaeus merguiensis The species is listed in the SAFS database so consideration needed to be given to adding the species to the AFNS. FNC Members at FNC 26 believed that the name White Banana Prawn is not commonly used. The group is commonly names as simply Banana Prawn

Document Location: 15:44:02 20-Jul-17 Page 17 of 35 https://frdc1.sharepoint.com/sites/FishNames/Meetings/FNC 30 Minutes.docx

The name has been previously subjected to public consultation as below.

No responded to stakeholder feedback 15 Yes 9 No 2 No comment on this application 4 No who provided further information

No Voted for 6 No Voted Against 5

FNC members agreed that the species should be added and recommended that the candidate name be simply Banana Prawn and the group name BANANA PRAWNS would be used for both Penaeus indicus & Penaeus merguiensis as below.

Penaeus indicus & 28 711907 BANANA PRAWN Penaeus merguiensis

28 711045 Redleg Banana Prawn Penaeus indicus H. Milne Edwards, 1837

28 711050 Banana Prawn Penaeus merguiensis De Man, 1888

It was agreed that the application should again be subjected to public consultation.

Resolution 30.29. FNC supported Application 228 to add the name Banana Prawn for the species Penaeus merguiensis to proceed to public consultation.

6.3 Applications subject to public consultation Reference: Fish Names Committee Procedure Section 12.4 At least a 60-day period of public consultation is required for applications that have been successful at the initial evaluation stage. Applications do not need to be advertised in the media but there must be an effective public consultation strategy. Nine applications have been the subject of public consultation as below

1) For all commercial species indigenous to Australia can we make "Australian" the prefix as was recently the outcome of a recent case in Alaska. Thus the provenance and the reputation of local producer's is secured. 2) Please hurry up and fix up the flathead debacle 3) no 4) Common names rather than scientific ones would make it easier for the fishing public to identify 5) I wish that everyone had to use the same names 6) YES...I AM AGAINST THE NAME AUSTRALIAN HERRING.IT IS ONLY WEST AUSSIES THAT USE THIS TERM AND IT IS GROSELY INCORRECT.ARRIPIS GEORGIANUS IS RELATED TO ARRIPIS TRUTTA...NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A HERRING !!! LEAVE IT ALONE AND CALL THEM TOMMY RUFF. 7) For someone wishing to make a submission on only one application, having to go through all nine is off-putting. Is it not possible to make a submission on applications individually? Resolution 30.30. FNC agrees that the requirements for public consultation have been met and agrees that the strategy for conducting public consultation has been effective.

6.4 Applications subject to final FNC evaluation Reference: Fish Names Committee Procedure Section 12.5 The purpose of the final FNC evaluation is to determine whether or not the fish name proposal is approved. The FNC minutes must record:  how each FNC member voted on the proposal  all salient points supporting the decision  any special circumstances relating to the decision  if the application is rejected, the specific reasons why and importantly, which of the fish names protocols the proposed SFN was so seriously in conflict with that it was not approved. Voting on final evaluations is required to be completed on the FNC Members Voting Form which was distributed as ATTACHMENT 30 – FNC Voting Form Consensus is required as specified in the Standards Development Procedure – Demonstrating Consensus 6.4.1 Application 243 to add the new SFN Antarctic Toothfish for Dissostichus mawsoni The application to add a new name Antarctic Toothfish for Dissostichus mawsoni was distributed as ATTACHMENT 31 – 243 Dissostichus mawsoni App and att The application was deemed to be non-contentious at FNC 29 and the applicant was advised that interim approval for the use of the name has been granted by the FNC subject to public consultation and a final decision by the FNC at this meeting.

Provided further information 1) Using the word "Crystal" confuses the Written submissions received that already established market for C. albus were entered into this database 2) Eastern Crystal Crab is too similar a name to Crystal Crab and needs to have a completely 7 comments as below different name. 3) The naming issue is an important one for stakeholders in the WA Crystal Crab fishery and we have been consulting internally about this issue recently and come to a consensus. The name “Eastern Crystal Crab” for Chaceon bicolour is much too similar to the WA endemic “Crystal Crab” of Chaceon albus. I refer to the published needs of the fish names standard to remove confusion, and to strengthen consumer confidence. Both are at odds with the currently proposed name “Eastern Crystal Crab”. We would suggest a name such as brown crab which reflects the colour and also differentiates the 2 crabs. 4) The name "Eastern Crystal Crab" for Chaceon bicolor is much too similar to the WA endemic "Crystal Crab" of Chaceon albus. We would suggest a name such as brown/purple

Karen Goiwlett-Holmes commented that she had been directed to vote against the proposal and stated that the reasons given by the AFMF were:  QLD has concerns about supporting Application 249 to add the new SFN Painted Rock Lobster for Panulirus versicolour (6.4.7 page 26). In QLD Panulirus versicolour is commonly referred to as Green Cray and Panulirus ornatus is referred to as Painted crayfish in the Fisheries Regulation 2008, and a size limit is in place for this single species. Concern is that the change would cause confusion for their commercial and recreational fishing sectors and it will be difficult to enforce from a compliance perspective. Education will be expensive with concerns over success of efforts.

Document Location: 15:44:02 20-Jul-17 Page 24 of 35 https://frdc1.sharepoint.com/sites/FishNames/Meetings/FNC 30 Minutes.docx

1) Panulirus ornatus is called the painted cray/lobster in Australia. I operated in this fishery in Torres Straits and took them incidental to pearl diving off the Eighty Mile Beach (WA) was always called the painted cray and should stay so. Interestingly the Catalogue of Life calls versicolor Painted Rock Lobster (I don't know where they got this from) Ref: http://species- identification.org/search.php?search_for=Panulirus&search_mode=basic&image.x=6 8&image.y=14 2) You will need to make it clear that painted lobster and painted crayfish are the same Karen Gowlett-Holmes commented that she had been directed to vote against the proposal and stated that the reasons given by the AFMF were:  QLD has concerns about supporting Application 249 to add the new SFN Painted Rock Lobster for Panulirus versicolour (6.4.7 page 26). In QLD Panulirus versicolour is commonly referred to as Green Cray and Panulirus ornatus is referred to as Painted crayfish in the Fisheries Regulation 2008, and a size limit is in place for this single species. Concern is that the change would cause confusion for their commercial and recreational fishing sectors and it will be difficult to enforce from a compliance perspective. Education will be expensive with concerns over success of efforts. FNC noted the comments from Qld but commented that both Panulirus ornatus and Panulirus versicolour have been called Painted Crayfish at different times. The proposed amendment is consistent with the protocols. For 11 Against 1 Resolution 30.38. FNC supported Application 249 to add a new SFN Painted Rock Lobster for Panulirus versicolor

6.6 Emergent Issues raised in relation to fish names Discussion Any issues that have been raised with the Project Manager will be listed here 6.6.1 Application 240 to add a new name Golden Trout for Oncorhynchus aguabonita The application was distributed as ATTACHMENT 40 – 240 Oncorhynchus aguabonita app and att and discussed at FNC 28 where discussions on the application were deferred to this meeting. FNC 29 requested that the matter be relisted at this meeting. The project manager has had discussions with the applicant who is convinced that the species is actually Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita The PM again stated that the Fish Names Committee works to fairly rigid protocols when assigning Standard Fish Names to fish species. These protocols are included in the Fish Names Application form which is available at http://seafoodstandards.com.au/fish- names/Documents/Fish%20Names%20Application%20Form.docx Protocol 6.4.6 Subspecies and hybrids states that Subspecies and hybrids will not generally be given a standard fish name. I forwarded him the name of the “experts” to get DNA testing or identification completed but I have not heard any feedback since then. FNC discussed the matter and recommended that the proponent be advised that the application will not be considered without evidence as to the true nature of the species. Resolution 30.41. The Project Manager is to advise the applicant to Application 240 to add a new name Golden Trout for Oncorhynchus aguabonita that scientific and taxonomic identification needs to be completed before the FNC will consider the application Resolution 30.42. The application will lay in abeyance and not be listed until the applicant provides this information.

6.6.2 Request to change the name of the species Nemadactylus macropterus from Jackass Morwong As stated in the attached briefing note circulated as ATTACHMENT 13 – Briefing Note Nemadactylus macropterus, the Project Manager has received a number of requests to change the name of the species Nemadactylus macropterus which is listed in the Australian Fish Names Standard as Jackass Morwong. Enquiries have been received to align with the NZ name for the species which is Tarakihi. It was reported that the species is sold as Morwong or sometimes as Deep Sea Bream. FNC members were of the opinion that the name has a long history in Australia and no action was necessary.

6.6.3 Removal of Penaeus pulchricaudatus from the Tiger Prawns group Lisa McKenzie has asked that the FNC consider removing the species Penaeus pulchricaudatus (Kuruma Prawn) from the TIGER PRAWNS group as its inclusion as the inclusion in the Group Name seems to be causing issues with importing countries. The current entries in the AFNS are:

PRAWNS -

Resolution 30.43. FNC supported an application for the removal of Penaeus pulchricaudatus from the TIGER PRAWNS group to proceed to public consultation. Resolution 30.44. FNC supported an application to add the name Australian Kuruma Prawn for Penaeus pulchricaudatus to proceed to public consultation. Resolution 30.45. Project Manager to prepare applications as above and circulate out of session to FNC members for approval. 6.6.4 Addition of Tiger Abalone to AFNS Lisa McKenzie tabled the following issue for discussed by the FNC. The NRS (National Residue Survey) area of our department is involved in taking samples for testing of seafood on an annual basis and has noted that the following are due for sampling – but are not in the AFNS as a Standard Fish Name and they would like their database to comply. Tiger Abalone (Haliotis laevigata x rubra) & (Haliotis laevigata x conicopora)

This is almost the name currently in our system for Tiger Abalone (Haliotis laevigata x Haliotis rubra) for export – my understanding is the additional X species was suggested by WAFIC and by Dan Machin around 2013.

The Project Manager spoke to Nick Savva from the Australian Abalone Growers Association who confirmed that there are a number of hybrids being farmed, mainly H. laevigata x H. rubra. He further indicated that he believed that H. rubra & H.conicopora are in fact the same species.

Nick also said that the name commonly used for the hybrid was Tiger Abalone and would be keen to see this name added to the AFNS.

Karen Gowlett-Holmes commented that there is no problem with adding a CAAB number for the hybrid. Tiger Abalone has been used for years for this, and it is worth noting that natural hybrids in the wild are known of H. laevigata x H. rubra/conicopora – these were harvested and sold long before they were farmed. Natural hybrids in abalone are well known and between some species, relatively common.

The question of the validity of H. rubra and H. conicopora has been a vexed one for a number of years. It has long been recognised that they are very closely related, and H. conicopora has varied between a full species, a subspecies of H. rubra (current status in CAAB), and a full synonym of H. rubra. The differences are mainly in shell colour and partly geographic – shell colour in abalone is closely related to diet, and the latest genetic data indicates they are at best subspecies, and more likely to be populations. I personally believe it is one species. There are several other southern Australian abalone species (non- commercial) that show extreme variation between the eastern and western end populations that are now accepted as single species.

FNC commented that there is natural hybridisation of the species. The hybrid grows faster than normal abalone.

7. SCIENTIFIC NAME UPDATES Discussion Any issues that have been raised in relation to changed scientific names will be raised here. The scientific names for fish is defined in the Australian Fish Names Standards as:  “scientific name”: the unique scientific name for a fish determined as per international convention and consisting of a genus name and a species name - the scientific names used in this Standard are those advised by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research or another competent authority.  “taxonomic group name” an or plant’s taxonomic group name as per international convention. The taxonomic group names used in this standard are those advised by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, or another competent authority. The Fish Names Committee does not determine Scientific Names for fish but notes their content and includes the amended name in the AFNS following reputable taxonomic advice.

7.1 Proposal to change Pagrus auratus to Chrysophrys auratus for Snapper The FNC has been advised that the scientific name for Snapper has changed from Pagrus auratus to Chrysophrys auratus. This matter was discussed at FNC 28 and FNC 29 where it was suggested that we relist at the next FNC meeting with a view to implementation in six months. It was reported that NZ had changed the scientific name in the most recent version of their list to Chrysophrys auratus The status quo will remain until the name is published. Gordon Yearsley was to monitor and advise when the paper is published Resolution 30.49. FNC recommended that the scientific name for Snapper be changed from Pagrus auratus to Chrysophrys auratus in the AFNS.

7.2 Change of Scientific Name for two Trachysalambria species Karen Gowlett Holmes tabled the following matter. A paper has just come out (12 Aug) with revised names for two Australian prawn species.

CAAB New Scientific Name Previous Scientific SFN Name

28 711056 Trachysalambria Trachysalambria fulva malaiana (Balss, 1933)

28 711055 Trachysalambria Not currently recorded curvirostris (Stimpson, from Australia waters, 1860) and included more than one species in previous Australian records – T. dentata, T. crosnieri (the southern species) and T. nansei

This last one is a mess, and I will defer doing anything about the listing until we can discuss it – preferably with Don who hopefully knows if there are major commercial catches, so we can work out which one this will be best applied to. I know that in SA, what is now T. crosnieri has been landed in the past and sold as shrimp, but it was recorded as T. curvirostris – given the common name, T. crosnieri may be the best option, but I will be keeping a listing for T. curvirostris so we can put an explanation on it – the latter is now regarded as restricted to Philippines north to Japan & China – a commercial species there and is likely to be imported as shrimp. Neither species was currently listed in the AFNS. Comments raised by FNC were:  Trachysalambria malaiana is caught in the eastern to northern regions of Australia and are generally sold as local mixed bay prawns.

Document Location: 15:44:02 20-Jul-17 Page 33 of 35 https://frdc1.sharepoint.com/sites/FishNames/Meetings/FNC 30 Minutes.docx

 Trachysalambria dentata, and Trachysalambria nansei are caught in Northern Australia  Trachysalambria crosnieri is the southern species. Resolution 30.50. FNC recommended that the Project Manager prepare an application to add the group name GREASYBACK PRAWNS for Trachysalambria species and distribute out of session to FNC members for comment.

8. FUTURE FISH NAMES WORK PROGRAM AND ACTIVITIES FRDC Project 2015-210 “FRDC resource: Australian Fish Names Standard (AS 5300)” was again funded by the FRDC. This is a three-year project commencing on 1 October 2015. Key points of this project are listed below: Project Objectives 1) Ensure FRDC is re accredited by the Accreditation Board of Standards Development Organisations as a Standards Development Organisation through participation in audits and improved standards development policies and procedures. 2) Continually improve the content of the Australian Fish Names Standard AS 5300 and underlying procedures to meet market, regulator and stakeholder needs and expectations. 3) Continue to promote the usage and uptake of Australian Standard Fish Names to the broader seafood industry and government through strategic submissions and presentations to government in consultation with FRDC 4) Develop and implement an alternative funding mechanism for the administration of the Australian Fish Names Standard in consultation with FRDC 5) Provide an advisory service to all stakeholders on matters related to the content of the AFNS and its usage. 6) Provide services to the Fish Names Committee through administration of the committee and meetings of the committee. Key deliverables during the life of this project include:

1) Cost recovery mechanism A critical milestone has been inserted after 18 months to report on the progress of introducing a cost recovery mechanism. This will become a key deliverable in the project. 2) Strengthening of communication strategies Communication strategies will be strengthened with the FRDC taking a lead role in this activity. Peter Horvat will be playing a key role in this activity. 3) Succession planning A strategy for succession planning has been developed and will be implemented in the early parts of this project. Key factors in this succession planning are:  The development of stringent standards development and Fish Names Committee procedures which document all aspects of the project;  Identification of a suitable person to be mentored in the role and functioning of the committee to assist with the project and possible take over the project under guidance in the final year.

4) Cost Reduction – FNC The PI and the Fish Names Committee will continually look for methods to reduce costs and scope user pays type mechanisms. 8.1 Succession Planning A document on Succession Planning has been prepared by the Project Manager with input from FNC members. The report was distributed as ATTACHMENT 41 – FNC 30 Succession Planning Strategy and was presented for endorsement. The Project Manager highlighted that the strategy addressed both succession planning for the project, the project manager, and the membership and skills base of the FNC. The absence of new skills in taxonomic evaluation, particularly in the field of invertebrates, was discussed. FNC discussed the report and endorsed the actions included. The actions in the report will be included in all future agendas and the status of actions reported. Resolution 30.51. FNC endorsed the report on succession planning for the Fish Names Committee.
