ACAP                                              Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels, done 19 June 2001, 2258 UNTS 257 (entered into force 1 February 2004).
AFMA                                              Australian Fisheries Management Authority.
Antarctic Fishery                                 An existing, new and exploratory fishery operating under the framework of the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, done 20 May 1980, 1329 UNTS 47 (entered into force 7 April 1982).
Australian Fishing Zone                           Area of waters between three nautical miles and 200 nautical miles seaward of the baselines.
Branch line                                       Secondary line with an individual baited hook and attached to the mainline of a longline by a clip.
Bycatch                                           Unintentional catch of a seabird during longline fishing.
Bycatch rate                                      Number of seabirds observed caught per 1000 hooks set during longline fishing (see also definition of interaction).
Caught                                            Where a seabird is either hooked or entangled in fishing gear, regardless of whether the seabird is landed on board the fishing vessel.
CMS                                               Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals, done 23 June 1979, 1651 UNTS 333 (entered into force 1 November 1983).
Coral Sea Fishery                                 A fishery defined under the Fisheries Management Regulations 1992 and managed under the Fisheries Management Act 1991.
Criteria                                          Maximum permissible bycatch rate at or above which a management response is required.
Dead seabird                                      A seabird caught by a longline shall be considered to be dead if:
                                                    1. it is obviously dead (i.e. shows no muscle movement or corneal reflex); or
                                                    2. it is landed alive, but displays any of the following pathologies that may lead to death on its release:
                                                      a. fracture of a wing bone, a leg bone or beak;
                                                      b. broken feather shafts on more than two primary feathers on either wing;
                                                      c. substantial damage to the patagial tendon (indicated by a drooping wing or the inability to fly upon release);
                                                      d. an open wound (other than superficial injuries in which there is no subcutaneous muscle damage);
                                                      e. waterlogged or hydrocarbon-soiled plumage; or
                                                      f. any bird released with a hook in situ.
Demersal fish                                     Fish that live close to or in contact with the seabed.
