This conservation measure applies to exploratory fisheries for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), except for such fisheries where the Commission has given specific exemptions, and only to the extent of those exemptions. 2. Fishing in any statistical subarea or division shall cease when the reported catch reaches the specified catch limit1 and that subarea or division shall be closed to fishing for the remainder of the season. No more than 75% of the catch limit shall be taken within 60 n miles of known breeding colonies of land-based krill-dependent predators. 3. In order to give effect to paragraph 2 above: (i) the precise geographic position of a trawl haul will be determined by the midpoint of the path between the start point and end point of the haul for the purposes of catch and effort reporting; (ii) for the purposes of this conservation measure, fishing is defined as any time that fishing gear, conventional trawls, pumped codends and continuous pumping gear are in the water; (iii) the Secretariat shall notify Contracting Parties participating in these fisheries when the total catch of Euphausia superba combined in any statistical subarea or division is likely to reach the specified catch limit, and of the closure of that subarea or division when that limit is reached2 . No part of a trawl path may lie within a closed subarea or division. 4. The total green weight of krill caught and lost shall be reported. 5. Each vessel participating in the exploratory fisheries for krill during the 2021/22 season shall have one observer appointed in accordance with the CCAMLR Scheme of International Scientific Observation and, where possible, one additional scientific observer, on board throughout all fishing activities within the fishing season.
