Country/Territory Document type Miscellaneous Date 2019 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Fisheries Keyword Marine fisheries Fishery management and conservation Total allowable catch Legal proceedings/administrative proceedings Data collection/reporting Marine fishes Sustainable use Abstract This Resolution of the Extended Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna, recognising that a provision to carry-forward undercatch can benefit the fishery by providing catch flexibility between quota years, establishes a procedure for limited carry forward of Members’ un-fished annual (global total allowable catch (TAC) from one year to the next. Members shall determine whether or not to adopt the carry-forward procedure for their fishery. The Resolution sets out the rules of the carry-forward procedure and notification to the CCSBT Secretariat of this carry-forward. If, on the basis of advice from the Extended Scientific Committee that exceptional circumstances exist that necessitate additional management action, the Extended Commission agrees to reduce the global total allowable catch within a three year quota block, the carry-forward procedures provided in this resolution shall not be applied by any Member.
