The krill fishery observer manual – points to be revised

This document lists up the current form to be filled in the observer manual for the krill fishery. I raise the underlying problem to be clarified or modified. This includes technical problems, workload limit, and also the problem of the commercial confidentiality. The current manual consists of nine forms and some of them were developed independent from other forms. Once the observer at sea tries to follow the manual as a whole, many conflicts arise. This document points out that the necessary revision must be undertaken by simulating the observer’s work onboard as a package of krill observer form, so that it would be reformed as a user friendly manual
