Agenda Item 1.1 Welcome and Apologies
The Chair opened the meeting at 8:36 and welcomed participants. The Chair acknowledged the
traditional owners past and present, and recorded apologies from Gerry Geen. Members were
advised the meeting was being recorded to assist with the preparation of the minutes; there were
no objections.
The MAC noted that AFMA had commenced the process for appointing a recreational member to
SEMAC. The conservation member questioned process for appointing a member and the MAC
noted that this is a Commission decision.
The MAC noted that chairs of resource advisory groups normally attend this total allowable catch
(TAC) setting meeting of the MAC. At this meeting Mr Sandy Morison represented South East
Resource Assessment Group (SERAG) and Shark Resource Assessment Group (SHARKRAG)
and Mr Christian Pyke represented Great Australian Bight Resource Assessment Group
(GABRAG).
AFMA observers in attendance were Georgia Langdon and Melanie Ryan.
Agenda Item 1.2 Adoption of Agenda
The agenda (Attachment A) was adopted with item 3.2, questions on industry update to be moved
to before item 3.1, questions on the environment update.
Agenda Item 1.3 Declaration of interests
The MAC reviewed the table of members’, invited participants’ and observers’ standing
declarations as outlined in the revised Fisheries Management Paper 1 (FMP 1). The Chair asked
participants to declare any specific conflicts of interest with items on the agenda or to declare
conflicts of interest that were not recorded in the provided table. Following any specific conflicts of
interest, the Chair requested that each member leave the meeting while the MAC discussed
whether the conflict should preclude them from participating in the agenda item. Following
consideration by the MAC, the member was invited to re-join the meeting.
The conservation member raised the broad issue of industry members using inside
knowledge gained at SEMAC for business benefits and the chair noted importance of
meeting confidentiality.
The following conflicts were flagged:
Mr Scott noted conflicts with agenda items 2.1 and 2.2. The MAC discussed the
conflict, recognising Mr Scott’s knowledge and valuable contribution, the MAC
agreed Mr Scott should participate in the discussion and recommendations.
Mr Dugins noted conflicts with agenda items 2.1 and 2.2. The MAC discussed the
conflict, recognising Mr Dugins’ knowledge and valuable contribution, the MAC
agreed Mr Dugins should participate in the discussion and recommendations.
Mr Boag noted a potential conflict of interest with agenda items 2.1 and 2.2. The
MAC discussed the conflict, recognising Mr Boag’s knowledge and valuable
contribution, the MAC agreed Mr Boag should participate in the discussion and
recommendations.
Mr Pyke noted conflicts of interest predominantly with agenda items relating to
western gemfish. Industry members raised concerns regarding potential future
dealings in conflict of interest species (south east) by Mr Pyke in his role as
managing director of Fisheries Asset Brokers. The chair reminded MAC members of
the confidentiality clause and emphasised Mr Pyke’s confidentiality obligations to
him when he returned to the room. Information discussed during MAC meetings
cannot be disclosed or used by members prior to the release of the meeting minutes
to the AFMA website. The MAC recognised Mr Pyke’s knowledge and valuable
contribution, the MAC agreed Mr Pyke should participate in the discussion and
recommendations.
Ms Wisby noted a potential conflict of interest in her fisheries private consultancy
work with industry who may wish to purchase south east quota in the future. The
chair again noted the confidentiality requirements of MAC members and highlighted
to the member their obligations in this regard. Information gained in the meeting
cannot be disclosed or used prior to the release of the meeting minutes to the
AFMA website. The MAC recognised Ms Wisby’s knowledge and valuable
contribution, the MAC agreed Ms Wisby should participate in the discussion and
recommendations.
An updated table of declared conflicts of interest is at Attachment B.
Agenda Item 1.4 Actions arising from previous meetings
A consolidated list of outstanding action items from previous SEMAC meetings was circulated to
the MAC. The MAC discussed the items and any progress to date (Attachment C).
The following points arose from the discussion:
Item 1: An industry member noted that although a paper on stock structure had been
presented to SERAG, that this would not be sufficient to address management
arrangements issues. The AFMA representative responded by clarifying that the SERAG
paper composed the first step in a larger revised project. The project will identify and
develop potential improved management strategies for species appropriate for regionalised
management based on them having separate stocks (pink ling, blue warehou and jackass
morwong). The next step is to address management strategies through the MAC and will
require significant consideration. Blue eye may be added to a second stage of the project in
the future depending on the outcome of stock structure work.
Item 3: Issues with electronic logbooks not allowing operators to use multiple discard codes
was addressed for CatchLog Trading, however an industry member raised concerns that
the OLRAC system was still unable to code differently for live release discards. The option
is currently present but not usable.
Item 4: The AFMA member clarified that the final western gemfish research report will be
available in the first half of 2017
Item 5: The MAC noted that a pre-meeting of the Trawl Advisory Group (TAG) was held to
establish membership and terms of reference and will go to the Commission with the view
to commencing from 1 May.
Item 6: An industry member raised the option of decreasing review of electronic monitoring
(EM) footage. The MAC noted that this could be a possibility in the future with development
of the program. An AFMA project is currently underway on EM review and risk rating
fishers. The conservation member noted that the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, the
Department Of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the Commonwealth Scientific and
Industrial Research Organisation have conducted similar risk rating projects in the past. An
Action item 28.1: AFMA
AFMA to present to the next MAC meeting a project plan and timeline for moving forward with
management strategies for pink ling, blue warehou and jackass morwong.
Action item 28.2: AFMA
AFMA to advise on pink ling east/west management arrangements for 17/18 at next MAC
meeting.
Action item 28.3: AFMA
AFMA to contact OLRAC to amend system to comply with terms of reference.
industry member noted the value of expansion of EM to fulfil a greater function, e.g. fish
measurement. AFMA is currently reviewing data needs for the fishery in consultation with
the RAG and scientific advisors.
Item 9: An industry member commented that a factory trawl operator should be included in
discussions of seabird mitigation on factory freezer vessels by the TAG. The conservation
member noted that a conservation member should also be present.
Item 11: The AFMA member directed the MAC to catch data for snapper by Commonwealth
GHaT fishers. He noted that snapper catch in Victorian waters did not appear to be
significant enough to warrant further action on trip limit arrangements but sought MAC
comment on the issue. An industry member suggested that as a red tape reduction, trip
limits should be removed as they lead to discarding of potentially valuable market fish. The
MAC noted that shared management arrangements for snapper mean that AFMA cannot
adjust management arrangements without state consultation. The MAC noted that
removing limits could encourage targeting. The AFMA member noted that discards are not
currently significant, however AFMA is happy to consider an industry proposal for revised
management should they wish to take further action. Given the current low catches of
snapper by Commonwealth vessels, revising trip limits was not recognised as a
management priority at this time.
Item 14: The AFMA member noted that a full levy model was made available to the MAC on
GovDex as of 17/01/2017.
Item 15: The AFMA member noted that the SESSF is due for new Ecological Risk
Assessment (ERA) next financial year. The fisheries management strategy, a compilation
document including all management arrangements, will follow on from the ERA. An annual
report will then be conducted against the fisheries management strategy.
Item 16: The AFMA member noted that due to current low midwater trawl effort in the SET
this project had not been prioritised however it is still to be completed.
Item 17: The executive officer noted that current EM coverage in the GHaT is ~11 per cent.
Action item 28.4: AFMA
AFMA will present to the MAC in its May meeting a reflective review of the EM program as it
stands in addition to an updated review of overseas experience and future possibilities for EM
within the gillnet, hook and trap (GHaT) fishery.
Agenda Item 2.1 SESSF TAC recommendations for 2017-18
The Chair introduced the agenda item. The MAC’s discussion, recommendations and any dissenting views for the 2017-18 TACs are provided in Table
1.
Table 1: MAC discussion, recommendations and any dissenting views for the 2016-17 TACs
The MAC noted that bight redfish and deepwater flathead will not be discussed by SEMAC as they have been considered by GABMAC.
The MAC noted changes to state discards which are now based on a weighted four year average.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
Alfonsino The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
• The MAC noted that catch was low because of no effort in this
area of the fishery.
• The industry member noted that management arrangements
make harvesting difficult between the Southern and Eastern
Scalefish and Shark Fishery (SESSF) and the high seas.
The MAC endorsed:
• Extension of 3 year MYTAC to a 4th year.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 1017t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Blue eye
trevalla
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
• The RAG recommended a single year TAC due to stock structure
work being finalised this year.
• The RAG advised that the RBC is likely to be conservative as it
does not take into consideration Orca depredation.
• An industry member noted that they would prefer a step up 50%
approach for stability in the fishery (increase of 48 t).
• The MAC noted that the primary objective of a stepped up
increase in order to achieve stability in the fishery.
The MAC endorsed:
• The MAC chose not to accept the AFMA
recommendation and instead adopted a
more conservative, step up approach.
• The MAC recommended a reduced
increase in TAC to 458t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
• Underlying issues such as stock structure work and international
experience may affect future recommendations and support a
more conservative approach.
• The MAC noted that a step up approach posed no risk to blue
eye trevalla (BET) stocks.
• An industry member noted that they would like to see a tier one
assessment for BET with a view to Marine Stewardship Council
(MSC) certified in the future.
• Industry noted that research is currently being undertaken on
Orca degradation.
Blue grenadier The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
• Catches of blue grenadier triggered a breakout rule (less than
70% of TAC was caught).
• SESSFRAG noted that this trigger was for commercial reasons
rather than stock concerns – no factory freezer boat had fished
in the fishery in recent years.
• Winter Fishery is currently MSC certified.
The MAC endorsed:
• Extension of 3 year MYTAC to a 4th year.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 8765t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Blue warehou The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Catch in 2015/16 of 2 t was extremely low.
The RAG noted that the area of catches has been decreasing.
The RAG advised that there was no indication that industry is
targeting blue warehou.
Current catches are not impeding recovery.
An industry representative noted that the AFMA
recommendation does not allow targeting but ensures data on
The MAC endorsed the AFMA incidental TAC
recommendation of 118t.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
bycatch is collected, even if operators have a small number of
statutory fishing rights.
The AFMA representative reminded the MAC that there is
currently a project underway looking at under caught TAC and
stock rebuilding. It is important that the project includes
recreational catch given the high recreational catch of blue
warehou.
An industry member raised concerns about seismic surveying
significantly impacting on blue warehou stocks.
Deepwater
shark (eastern)
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Deepwater sharks (eastern) had not triggered any breakout rules
to review the existing MYTAC.
Catches have been well below TAC (30%).
AFMA management recommended a 1 tonne reduction to
account for catch taken in the 2016 fishery independent survey.
The MAC endorsed:
• Extension of 3 year MYTAC to a 4th year.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 46t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Deepwater
shark (western)
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Based on industry and MAC advice TAC has been held below
what it could be in order to maintain stability in catches.
The MAC endorsed:
• Extension of 3 year MYTAC to a 4th year.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 215t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Action Item 28.5: AFMA
Mr Day to circulate under caught TAC and stock rebuilding
research project proposal.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
Elephant fish The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
The MAC noted that Elephant fish had not triggered any
breakout rules.
Currently within 3 year MYTAC period.
Significant discards.
Ongoing concern with discards was noted by the MAC.
The MAC endorsed:
• Continuation of the MYTAC
• the AFMA TAC recommendation of 114t
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
• The breakout rules as recommended by
SharkRAG.
Tiger Flathead Brigid Kerrigan, AFMA manager of Manager South East Trawl, Great
Australian Bight Trawl and Coral Sea Fishery introduced the item and
highlighted the following:
The 2013 assessment estimated the stock at 50% whilst the 2016
assessment (presented to the RAG in November 2016) estimated
the stock at ~43%. Differences between the assessments were
due to additional catch data, FIS data, sensitivities introduced to
model, variations to recruitment and natural mortality.
Revised estimates of recruitment were a key factor affecting the
model.
The November RAG recommended using an average of 3 year
RBC to set the TAC. This resulted, after accounting for discards
The MAC endorsed:
• A one year RBC of 3089t.
• The revised AFMA TAC recommendation
of 2712t.
• the recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch;
• updated stock assessment in 2017
on the basis that:
Action Item 28.6: AFMA
AFMA to refer MAC concerns surrounding accounting for
discards of elephant fish back to SharkRAG, questioning
whether the 15% discount factor can be moderated. Note
potential relevance of maximum economic returns form the
fishery as a whole and the high level of protection given to
elephant fish via closures.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
and state catches, in a 347 t drop in the TAC between 16/17 and
17/18.
Industry provided feedback and proposed an alternative step
down scenario where the TAC would be reduced by 50% of that
recommended by AFMA (50% reduction of 347t).
CSIRO ran projections of 3 different scenarios for reducing the
TAC and in the process identified an error in the original RBC
calculations based on estimated 2016 catch. The original RBCs
were based on a slight underestimate of 2016 catch. This has
now been corrected.
RAG met by teleconference (12 Jan 2017) to consider the results
of the projections (3 scenarios were tested – refer to Agenda
paper). A corrected base case was presented based on average
of 3 year RBC that resulted in a TAC of 2500 t, a total reduction
of 382 t from 2016-17.
The RAG recommended a single year RBC; the flathead
assessment is updated in 2017; gear survey of Danish Seine fleet
is conducted and results included in 2017 assessment.
An industry representative raised concerns with mesh size in
Danish seiners (gear type selectivity) not being incorporated into
models. Industry proposed a revised assessment that could be
more readily accepted by industry.
Industry proposed a 50% implementation of the reduction,
pending the updated assessment taking into consideration gear
selectivity (changes in mesh size) and potentially, the impact of
new fishers on catch rate.
The RAG has provided three options in terms of TAC
recommendations, all single year. The options were the RBC
1. A Danish seine gear survey is conducted to allow
updated estimates of the seine fleet's gear
selectivity;
2. the step down approach would lead to a very
small increase in the stock depletion compared to
the 362 tonnes TAC reduction implied by
application of the Harvest Control Rules;
3. the originally proposed reduction in the
flathead RBC would have a major economic
impact (ca $2.0m per annum) in a year with high
levies;
4. the stock is above the management target with
minimal risk of falling below the limit reference
point;
5. more explicitly addressing industry concerns
promotes ownership in, and stewardship over, the
fishery which will likely result in other industry led
unrelated gains.
The MAC also recommended that the potential
impacts on the CPUE of new entrants in the
Danish seine fishery be explored (noting that
standardisations are already in place and the RAG
has stated that the effect is likely be minimal).
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
resulting from base case, a 50% cut in first year, or a 33% cut in
first year.
Dr Kerrigan noted that all of the options presented to the MAC
have the stock approaching but still (just) above target. Due to
this, the MAC would be able to recommend the option that best
achieved management objectives.
The scientific member noted that he was comfortable with the
proposals put forward by the MAC from a sustainability
perspective.
The MAC recommended a 1-year RBC of 3089 t which is giving
effect to a TAC reduction of 50% of that resulting from the base
case RBC of 2886 tonnes (refer to table 3 of MAC Agenda Paper);
a gear survey; and updated stock assessment in 2017.
An industry member noted concerns with the cost of a one year
assessment to industry.
Gemfish
(eastern)
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
The 2008 assessment model for eastern gemfish was updated,
however limited new data was available and assessment was not
progressed.
The MAC endorsed the AFMA incidental TAC
recommendation of 100t.
MAC supports the need for a revised assessment
as soon as feasible.
Action Item 28.7: AFMA
AFMA to conduct a survey of Danish seine vessels to provide
data on the timing and nature of changes to fishing gear to
allow for updated estimates of the seine fleet's selectivity for
tiger flathead.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
While the updated assessment was not accepted there was no
indication of stock recovery.
AFMA is looking to conduct an updated assessment as soon as
possible.
Gemfish
(western)
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Data limitations restricted assessment of this species.
GABRAG considered a tier 1 assessment, a tier 4 assessment (for
CTS component of stock only) including discards and a tier 4
assessment excluding discards.
Given data limitations, a weight of evidence approach, using
both Tier 1 and Tier 4 assessments, was used by the RAG in
forming its advice.
An industry member raised concern about the quality of data in
the tier 1 assessment. This concern was supported by the
scientific member.
The MAC found it difficult to understand how the proposed RBC
had been derived and expressed concern over a lack of clarity
about the basis for the advice from GABRAG.
MAC noted that there was little risk of stock declining below the
limit reference point.
An industry member questioned the GAB trigger limits. The
AFMA member advised that this is being reviewed.
An industry member raised the option of staying with the
existing TAC of 247t because of the uncertainty around the
assessment. However, he was comfortable with the MAC’s
recommendation provided the Harvest Strategy Framework
triggers were reviewed.
The MAC endorsed:
• A three year MYTAC commencing in
2017/18 with a TAC of 199t
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
• The breakout rules as recommended by
the RAG.
• Triggers should be reviewed in harvest
strategy framework.
• The MAC urge a revised assessment with
improved data as soon as it becomes
available.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
A sub-committee of the RAG is currently being formed to address
data shortages for this species. A three year MYTAC is being
recommended to allow time for additional data collection before
the next assessment.
Gummy shark The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), South Australia
and Victoria are allocated a portion of the TAC. This allocation is
deducted from the RBC in setting the TAC.
SA has exceeded allocation in recent years. The AFMA member
advised that the MAC may wish to consider this when making a
recommendation.
The scientific member suggested that if states exceed their
allocation an overfishing classification could be incurred if the
RBC is exceeded.
SA have advised that they are changing their management
arrangements to remain under their allocation.
An industry member questioned how discards were
incorporated into the model. The scientific member advised that
this is the weighted average of the last four years.
An industry member raised concerns that the reduced TAC could
be driven based on poor catches in Bass Strait stocks and not
reflect the fishery overall. The scientific member noted that area
contributions to the model are proportionate to fishing in that
The MAC endorsed:
• A 3 year MYTAC commencing in 2017/18.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 1774t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Action Item 28.8: AFMA
AFMA to review western gemfish trigger limits within the
GABTF.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
area. They also noted that RBCs are stable within the fishery.
Decreases in the RBC this year are reflective of natural
mortality/end of a recruitment pulse.
Industry members proposed arrangements with South Australia
and Victoria to ensure their allocation were not exceeded and
that costs of assessments were shared based on catches. AFMA
noted that this will be taken into consideration when negotiating
arrangements with the states.
Jackass
morwong
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
The MAC noted that Jackass morwong had triggered the
breakout rule as CPUE for the eastern stock was below the 95
per cent confidence interval of CPUE predicted in the most
recent assessment.
This was likely to be due to an overestimate of recruitment.
Catches have been low in relation to TAC.
The proposed increase in quota reflects a change in discards.
Jackass Morwong have been recommended for inclusion in the
declining and non-recovering stocks project.
The MAC endorsed:
• Continuation of the MYTAC.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 513t
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
• The breakout rules as recommended by
the RAG.
John dory The MAC noted that John dory had not triggered any breakout rules to
review the existing MYTAC.
The MAC endorsed:
• Continuation of the MYTAC.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 175t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Mirror dory The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
SERAG reviewed an updated tier 4 assessment for mirror dory.
The MAC endorsed:
• The recommended single year TAC.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
The RAG has recommended a single year TAC due to large cyclical
changes in mirror dory stock size and catches.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 235t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Ocean perch The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Ocean perch is assessed as inshore and offshore species.
The TAC is based on offshore species.
The MAC noted that ocean perch had not triggered any breakout
rules to review the existing MYTAC.
Discussion with the RAG in relation to the data plan to do a tier
1 assessment for offshore ocean perch. This was supported by
an industry member due to high discards and inability to target.
The MAC endorsed:
• Extension of 3 year MYTAC to a 4th year.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 190t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Orange roughy
(cascade)
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Catches for this species were low in 2015/16
No new information was available to the RAG to change its
recommendation.
Orange roughy (cascade) is not a rebuilding species and have
been assessed as being well above target.
The conservation member noted correspondence from
Australian Marine Conservation Society in relation to orange
roughy (Attachment D).
The MAC endorsed:
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 500t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Action Item 28.9: AFMA
AFMA to develop with the RAG a data plan to allow for a tier
1 assessment for offshore ocean perch.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
Orange roughy
(eastern)
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
An acoustic biomass survey which was a condition of the current
MYTAC was completed by SETFIA in 2016 and reported to the
RAG to inform next assessment
A 100 per cent under catch is in place for this species to allow
operators to avoid conducting shots which risk taking them over
quota in one season.
The MAC endorsed:
• Continuation of the MYTAC.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 465t.
• The recommended 100 per cent
undercatch and 10 per cent overcatch.
Orange roughy
(southern)
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
No proposed changes to MYTAC.
Assessment for the eastern stock be updated with next eastern
zone assessment.
The MAC endorsed:
• The AFMA TAC recommendation (Pedra
Branca of 35t.
• The AFMA incidental TAC
recommendation of 31t.
Orange roughy
(western)
No new information was available to SERAG to support amending their
advice.
The MAC endorsed the AFMA incidental TAC
recommendation of 60t.
Smooth
oreodory
(cascade)
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Smooth oreodory (Cascade) had not triggered any breakout rules
to review the existing MYTAC.
Catch and effort were low in 2016.
Low effort resulted in low data availability and therefore did not
support a review of the TAC.
The MAC endorsed:
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 150 t
until catches reach at least 10 t at which
time the fishery would be reviewed.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Smooth
oreodory
(other)
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Species is under a tier 5 assessment (depletion based stock
reduction analysis) which allows new method of assessment for
data poor fisheries not based on CPUE.
The MAC endorsed:
• Continuation of the MYTAC.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 90t.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Oreo dory,
basket
The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
• The oreo (basket) breakout rule (more than 70 per cent of TAC
caught) had been triggered.
• The MAC noted that this was understandable due to an increase
in fishing effort in the deeper water.
• The RAG had no concerns with the sustainability of this stock.
• Proposed to extend MYTAC for an additional year
• An industry member questioned what proportion of the catch is
made up of spikey oreos. The member suggested that if a large
portion of the catch is made up of spikey they should be
considered for removal from the basket oreos.
The MAC endorsed:
• Extension of 3 year MYTAC to a 4th year.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 128t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Pink ling The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
AFMA recommends 1154 tonne TAC continuing the second year
of the existing three year MYTAC.
SlopeRAG in 2015 noted that constant catch projections
suggested that catches below 550 tonnes posed low risk to the
stock. SETFIA continues to manage eastern zone proportion of
catch. 2016-17 nominal eastern TAC is 404t.
The MAC endorsed:
• Continuation of the MYTAC.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 1154t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Redfish The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
No new assessment was conducted in 2016.
Catches last season were 50% of the incidental catch TAC.
The MAC endorsed the AFMA incidental TAC
recommendation of 100t.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
Current catches would allow for rebuilding of the stock, if
average recruitment was occurring.
The redfish rebuilding strategy was implemented in 2016.
Ribaldo The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
No sustainability concerns or breakout rules triggered.
Proposing to continue 3 year MYTAC for an additional year.
The MAC endorsed:
• Extension of 3 year MYTAC to a 4th year.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 355t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Royal red prawn The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
No breakout rules had been triggered in 2016.
The MAC endorsed:
• Extension of 3 year MYTAC to a 4th year.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 384t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Sawshark The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
The MAC noted that the breakout rule ‘if total mortality
(including discards, state catch and recreational catch) is lower
than 50 per cent of the most recent RBC’ had been triggered.
The MAC noted that CPUE was noisy but flat and did not have
concerns for stock sustainability.
The MAC endorsed:
• Continuation of the MYTAC of 442t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
School shark The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Standardised trawl CPUE while not of itself a reliable index of
abundance, was showing sustained increase.
No concerns were raised by the fishery independent survey.
The MAC endorsed the AFMA incidental TAC
recommendation of 215t.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
CSIRO are currently updating close kin genetics project to be
finalised in 2017.
School whiting The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
The increase in recommended TAC reflects reduced state
catches.
An assessment scheduled for this year.
The MAC endorsed:
• Continuation of the long-term TAC.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 986t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Silver trevally The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
Catches of silver trevally have declined and are well below TAC.
No breakout rules were triggered.
SERAG has proposed to extend the TAC for an additional year.
The MAC endorsed:
• Extension of 3 year MYTAC to a 4th year.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 613t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
Silver warehou The AFMA member introduced the item and highlighted the following:
An industry member questioned the vulnerability of the stock
and noted that they want to see a new assessment after 3 years
and no extension of the MYTAC in the future.
SLOPERAG proposed a step down to the 600t TAC over two
years.
The MAC endorsed:
• Continuation of the MYTAC.
• The AFMA TAC recommendation of 605t.
• The recommended 10 per cent
undercatch and overcatch.
• An assessment in the final year of MYTAC
with no extension.
Action Item 28.10: AFMA
AFMA to conduct a review of industry compliance on school
shark targeting and report back to the MAC.
Item Species Discussion MAC recommendation and any dissenting views
Non-quota
species.
The AFMA member noted no catch due to no effort in this area of the
fishery.
The MAC endorsed:
Continuation of non-quota TACs for boar
fish and orange roughy of 200t and 50t
respectively.
Agenda Item 3.1 Industry update
The Chair noted the paper “Industry update” and invited questions and comments from members.
The following arose from the discussion:
Trawl
o Mr. Boag presented the MAC with the latest draft communications between SETFIA
and the Commission in progressing the development of a TAG.
o It is proposed that the TAG will compose of SETFIA and non SETFIA members and
will address AFMA and SETFIA objectives related to reducing complexity and cost
in management and increasing transparency (via publishing of minutes) to the
Australian public.
o The need for the group has been discussed at previous Commission meetings.
o The MAC noted that the respective roles of the MAC and the TAG should be
clarified and the letter should focus on the role of the TAG rather than anyone’s
dissatisfaction with the previous functions of the MAC.
o An industry member noted that MAC should take more of an overarching role and
that the TAG would provide more industry specific advice and will have more of an
operational focus.
o Mr Boag noted that the TAG may provide an annual performance report on the
fishery to the Commission.
o State, recreational and environmental representatives may attend TAG discussions
as required.
o Mr Scott stated his interest in becoming part of the TAG as a representative from
the autoline fishery. This proposal was supported by Mr. Boag.
o The scientific member expressed support for the TAG.
GHaT
o The industry member noted the issue of large spider crab aggregations which were
impacting on gummy shark catches, particularly in western Bass Strait.
o The AFMA member raised the issue of VMS/EMS overlap. AFMA compliance are
undertaking a VMS tender which provides for reduced duplication between VMS
and EMS.
Squid
o The MAC noted that prices are good and demand is high.
Agenda Item 3.2 Environment update
The Chair noted the paper “Environment update” and invited questions and comments from
members.
The following arose from the discussion:
The conservation member raised concerns regarding an increase in
recorded seabird catches after the introduction of EM. Ryan Keightley, AFMA
acting Manager of the GHaT, clarified that recent increases were driven by
two large gillnet events involving shearwaters and that the species would be
identified when publicly reported.
A potential code of practice for reducing seabird interactions in the GHaT is
currently being developed by AFMA and the seabird working group.
The conservation member questioned whether the demersal longline Threat
Abatement Plan (TAP) was breached in 2016 winter?
The MAC noted that Paul Ryan (AFMA) would circulate a summary of the progress
of AFMA’s climate change and ecological risk assessment projects to the MAC
(Attachment E).
Agenda Item 3.3 Managers Update
The Chair noted the paper “Managers update” and invited questions and comments from
members.
The following arose from the discussion:
It was clarified that general items (agenda items1, 3 and 4) are split between
the fisheries and specific items allocated to the fisheries involved. The AFMA
member noted that he would be happy to receive alternative allocation
proposals. An industry member commented that he would like to see autoline
separated, however this falls under GHaT cost centres.
Agenda Item 4.1 Other Business
The next MAC meeting will be held on 24 February 2017. This date may be revised to an earlier
start of Thursday afternoon to accommodate large agenda.
Important agenda items will include:
SPF TACs
SPF harvest strategy
Pair trawling
Dolphin strategy stage two
Pink ling management
With no other items of business raised, the Chair thanked all participants and closed the meeting at
approximately 3:55 pm.
Action item 28.11: AFMA
AFMA to clarify if the seabird TAP was breached in the previous monitoring period, or is likely
to be breached in the current period.

Attachment D
17 January 2017
AMCS would like to reiterate our concern around non-incidental catch quotas being
allocated to Orange Roughy. We contend that considering the life history characteristics
making Orange Roughy vulnerable to overfishing, historical overfishing and the potential
damage to seamount habitat targeted fishing for this species is not justified. A minimum
target of 48% of unfished biomass being achieved in line with the current MEY target
reference points adopted by the fishery would be considered an appropriate minimum level
at which to trigger any consideration of targeted fishing TACs. We recommend the
rescinding of any targeted fishing TAC for this species until such time as stocks rebuild to
ecologically sustainable levels.
Attachment E
ERA/ERM Revitalisation Project
At the October 2016 AFMA Commission meeting, an update on the progress of the Ecological Risk
Management (ERM) Guide was provided. At that time, AFMA sought the Commission’s
endorsement of the directions to be taken in finalising the Guide and related documents. Most of
the remaining work was related to resolving residual issues with the Ecological Risk Assessment
(ERA) methodology and consulting with various RAGs and MACs – particularly those related to the
test fisheries – on the outcomes of their ERAs. The AFMA Commission endorsed this approach at
the October meeting and, since then, AFMA has been working to progress the ERA/ERM
Revitalisation Project with the aim of finalising it in time for the AFMA Commission to endorse it at
its April 2017 meeting.
ERAs have been carried out for the Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF) and the Eastern Tuna and Billfish
Fishery (ETBF), the two test fisheries for the ERA project. The results of the ETBF ERA were
considered by the Tropical Tuna and Billfish Fisheries RAG on 18-19 October 2016, just prior to
the last AFMA Commission meeting. The results of the SPF ERA were presented to the SPF
Scientific Panel on 15-16 December 2016. At these meetings, a number of issues regarding the
ERA methodology, particularly how it deals with cumulative impacts and protected species, were
raised. These issues, along with others identified by AFMA, will be the main focus of the next ERA
Technical Working Group meeting which is to be held on 16 February 2017. It is anticipated that
these issues will be resolved at this meeting and the ERA methodology finalised. If needed, the
ERAs for the two test fisheries will be regenerated prior to the AFMA Commission being presented
with a final ERM Guide at the April 2017 meeting. AFMA is also preparing a range of supporting
documents to sit alongside the ERM Guide. These include a policy paper, a communication
strategy and documents describing the ERM Guide in plain English for the general public and other
stakeholders.
Adaptation of Commonwealth fisheries management to climate change
The Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) has provisionally approved an
AFMA-CSIRO project proposal “Adaptation of Commonwealth fisheries management to climate
change”.
The objectives of the project are:
1. To assess how well the existing Commonwealth fisheries management framework will cope with
climate change impacts.
2. To develop a methodology and approach for AFMA and other fisheries to adapt their regulatory
environment to climate change impacts on Commonwealth fisheries.
3. To develop strategies and priorities to account for effects of climate change in the management
of Commonwealth fisheries.
The overall methodology is a risk based assessment of the current fisheries management system
against expected climate change effects and in doing so identifying and prioritising residual risks
for further action.
The steps to be followed are:
1. Form a steering group (risk assessment consultant/CSIRO) to develop the risk assessment methodology for evaluating how well Commonwealth fisheries management handles climate change impacts on Commonwealth fisheries and to determine residual risks after AFMA fisheries management processes are applied. 2. Introduce the risk assessment framework and methodology to key stakeholders through a one day workshop. Key stakeholders will include: AFMA, DAWR, Commercial fishers, Recreational fishers, Indigenous fishers, science bodies other experts and interested resource managers. 3. Apply the risk assessment (quantitative/qualitative) to the Commonwealth fisheries management system to determine relative risks from climate change 4. Review the risk assessment results in a two day workshop with stakeholders (as above) 5. Report the outcomes of the risk assessments and workshops and focus on answering the following questions:
What are the residual risks and priorities that remain for the fisheries examined?
Recommend the next steps for the fisheries examined and a roadmap to deal with them.
Can the methodology be usefully employed across all fisheries?
Are the risk criteria appropriate for wider application or do they need improvement? If so
where?
