Abstract

This Measure of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), adopted in accordance with Article IX of the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, requires Contracting Parties and non-Contracting Parties cooperating with CCAMLR to take steps to control landings and transshipment of and trade in Dissostichus spp. (Tootfish) through participation in the Catch Documentation Scheme (CDS). Each Contracting Party and non-Contracting Party cooperating with CCAMLR by participating in the CDS shall require that each landing of Dissostichus spp. at its ports and each transhipment of Dissostichus spp. from, or to, its vessels be accompanied by a completed Dissostichus catch document (DCD). A Flag State must be satisfied, through the use of VMS data (as specified in Conservation Measure 10-04) that the FAO area(s) or CCAMLR subarea(s) or division(s) where the Dissostichus spp. were taken was accurately reported by the vessel on the DCD, and check the vessel’s authorisation to fish before issuing a unique Flag State Confirmation Number on a DCD. The import, export or re-export of Dissostichus spp. without a Dissostichus Export Document (DED) or Dissostichus Re-Export Document (DRED) is prohibited.
