SCHEDULE OF CONSERVATION MEASURES IN FORCE 1998/99 SEASON (As amended by the Commission at the Seventeenth Meeting, 26 October to 6 November 1998) This schedule lists Conservation Measures adopted by the Commission in accordance with Article IX of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. Conservation Measures are numbered in simple consecutive order in arabic numerals with a roman numeral identifying the number of the meeting of the Commission at which they were adopted. For example, Conservation Measure 3/IV denotes the third Conservation Measure adopted by the Commission, and indicates that the Measure was adopted at the Fourth Meeting of the Commission, i.e. in 1985. If a Conservation Measure is amended it retains its arabic numeral, but the roman numeral is changed to that of the meeting at which it was amended. The map depicts the CCAMLR Convention Area and its Statistical Areas, Subareas and Divisions. The texts of the CCAMLR System of Inspection and the CCAMLR Scheme of International Scientific Observation are appended.
