Report of the Working Group on Fish Stock Assessment (Hobart, Australia, 3 to 12 October 2016) Opening of the meeting 1.1 The meeting of WG-FSA was held in Hobart, Australia, from 3 to 12 October 2016. The Convener, Dr D. Welsford (Australia), opened the meeting and welcomed participants (Appendix A). As this meeting of WG-FSA was slightly shorter than previous meetings, Dr Welsford encouraged all participants to engage in discussion and where differences of views existed that these be presented as different testable hypotheses rather an simply as statements of positions. 1.2 Mr A. Wright (Executive Secretary) extended the Secretariat’s warm welcome to all participants and Mr T. Jones (Secretariat) provided an overview of the web-based meeting support provided by the Secretariat. Organisation of the meeting and adoption of the agenda 2.1 The work plan for WG-FSA at this meeting was focused on providing advice on: • non-target catch in CCAMLR fisheries • setting appropriate catch limits for research activities involving toothfish • methods for the analysis of toothfish catch data. Dr Welsford reminded the Working Group that, while some of the work of the meeting may be considered in subgroups, all substantive discussions, and particularly discussions leading to advice to the Scientific Committee, would be conducted in plenary. 2.2 The Working Group reviewed and adopted the agenda with the addition

  • SIOFA Mop7 Report Annexes.Pdf
    ANNEX A Annex A Opening statement from the Chairperson of the Meeting of the Parties Distinguished Heads of Delegation, and all participants to the 7th Meeting of the Parties It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the 7th Meeting of the Parties to the Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement. Although I sincerely wish that we could meet in person, I am pleased that we have been able to work together to ensure that our annual meeting proceeds in some form and that we can still make progress on our important work. I would like to formally welcome new partners to SIOFA. Since our last meeting, China has joined us as a Contracting Party and we are richer for it. We are also now joined by the United States of America as a new non-Contracting Party observer, and the Environmental Justice Foundation as a new NGO observer. SIOFA continues to grow, and so does the external interest in our work. It is a sober reminder of the importance of our Agreement and the responsibility discharged to us. I acknowledge the work we have ahead of us this week. It is challenging to work cooperatively over virtual formats. However, there are a range of issues to address. In particular, I am committed to working with you to find stability and certainty in the election of the MOP Chairperson. I also urge the MOP not to lose sight of the work we have ahead of us – work that is so important for achieving the objectives of our Agreement. In this vein, I encourage all delegates to continue intersessionally efforts to operationalising the high seas boarding and inspection measure and in progressing monitoring, control and surveillance measures, such as a vessel monitoring system.

A crewman radioed ahead and asked for clearance to unload hundreds of thousands of pounds of frozen Antarctic toothfish pieces in sacks and boxes, and an additional 6,200 pounds of toothfish heads. The total-about 125 tons-would fetch more than $3.6 million on the wholesale market.
