Abstract

This Measure, adopted as cautious preliminary conservation and management measures consistent with Article 22(1) of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO) Convention, seeks, together with CMM 03 -2020 (Bottom Fishing), to ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable use of deep sea fishery resources, including target fish stocks as well as nontarget or associated and dependent species, and, in doing so, to safeguard the marine ecosystems in which these resources occur, including inter alia the prevention of significant adverse impacts on vulnerable marine ecosystems. All activities conducted under this CMM must be conducted in accordance with CMM 03 -2020. This CMM concerns mainly total catch for orange roughy fisheries in various geographical areas and review of management measures by the SPRFMO Scientific Committee and monitoring of catch levels.
