of research, data collection and monitoring relevant to the assessment and management of the TSPF.                                               Development and maintenance of an ongoing program of research, data collection and monitoring.

Ensuring that the management of the fishery takes into account the results of any research conducted in relation to the fishery.
                                                                                                                                                                   Management practices of the fishery and results of any research conducted in relation to the fishery are published annually in fishery assessment reports.

                                                                                                                                                                   Strategies are developed and implemented in accordance with research to meet the fisheries research priorities, and appropriate components of the EMS.
Maintain a unit based effort management system to control the sustainable level of effort in the fishery.                                                          Effectiveness of the effort based management and evaluation of alternative management strategies if required.

                                                                                                                                                                   Effort in the fishery successfully manipulated as a result of stock assessment and other scientific advice (including levels of interactions with traditional fishery species and bycatch species) via variations in the unit system.
Maintaining target stocks at a point where population size/biomass is greater than that required to support maximum sustainable yield.                             Development of a harvest strategy for the fishery, including biological reference points for key species by the end of  2009.

                                                                                                                                                                   Development and periodic assessment of biological reference points for key target and by-product species.

                                                                                                                                                                   The level of effort in the fishery should reflect both prawn stocks in the fishery and the impact of the fishery on habitat, bycatch and traditional fishing.
Continue and improve an effective program of catch monitoring and surveillance in the TSPF.                                                                        Monitoring of compliance in the fishery published in annual fishery assessment reports.

         Objective 2 Promote economic efficiency in the utilisation of the fisheries resources within the TSPF.
Measures by which objectives are to be attained                                                             Performance criteria
The development of a series of biological, economic and other data that can be used to assess the fishery.  Development of economic efficiency indicators which may include GVP and utilisation of allocated fishing days.

                                                                                                            Developed economic indicators and performance against indicators are published in the annual report.
Movement of licences and effort units between operators.                                                    The number of units/allocated fishing days that move in a year are measured and included in the annual fishery assessment report.

Objective 3 Ensure cooperative, efficient and cost effective management of the Fishery.
Measures by which objectives are to be attained                                                                                                    Performance criteria
