Implementation of by-catch move-on rules in exploratory fisheries

The implementation of by-catch move-on rules is presented based on the analysis of catch and location data from CCAMLR exploratory fisheries from 2010 to 2018. Conservation Measure 33-03 specified a haul-specific move-on rule for any by-catch taxa and a cumulative catch move-on rule specifically for Macrourids. The results indicate a very low incidence of triggering either rule and only 5 occasions where it appeared that the rule had been triggered but not applied.
