57 Monthly Fine‑Scale Biological Data Reporting System
57.1 A person using a boat in the Convention Area that is required to meet the requirements of the Monthly Fine‑Scale Biological Data Reporting System must, at the end of each month, give the flag State of the boat the information required by the Fine‑Scale Biological Data Form (Form B2) for the target and by‑catch species.
Note: The Fine‑Scale Biological Data Form (Form B2) could in 2014 be viewed on the CCAMLR’s website (http://www.ccamlr.org).
57.2 For the purpose of providing the information mentioned in subclause 57.1, the person must: (a) round down the measurement of total length of a fish to the nearest centimetre; and (b) take a representative sample of length composition from each fine‑scale grid rectangle (0.5° latitude by 1° longitude) in which fishing occurs. 57.3 The CCAMLR Executive Secretary may close a fishery in the Convention Area to boats of a flag State that have not provided the information mentioned in subclause 57.1.
