implementing long‑term management arrangements that pursue economic efficiency for the fishery;
 (g) ensuring that a fisheries assessment plan is developed and reviewed in accordance with section 9;
 (h) monitoring the impact of fishing on target species, species that are caught as bycatch, ecologically‑related species and the marine environment, and implementing any related strategies that are necessary to ensure the sustainability of those species and the marine environment, and to ensure that bycatch limitations are not exceeded;
 (i) continually evaluating the mechanisms that have been put into place to monitor fishing against statutory fishing rights and the total allowable catch, and modifying those mechanisms, as necessary, to improve the monitoring;
 (j) periodically checking the accuracy and consistency of information kept in relation to the fishery;
 (k) issuing directions prohibiting the use of the fishery, or part of the fishery, during specified periods, telling the holders of statutory fishing rights about those directions, and requiring the holders to comply with the directions;
 (l) preparing an annual budget of costs associated with managing the fishery, and setting and collecting levies and fees for the fishery;
 (m) periodically evaluating whether the range and extent of management services provided by AFMA are consistent with cost‑effective management;
 (n) managing fishing operations in the fishery in a way that implements relevant CCAMLR Conservation Measures and complies with other relevant international agreements.
7 Performance criteria against which measures taken may be assessed (Act s 17 (5))
 (1) The performance criteria against which the measures taken may be assessed are:
 (a) that the target species meet the sustainable reference points set for each target species; and
 (b) that a total allowable catch is set for each target species for each fishing year, and that (unless provision is made for corresponding reductions in subsequent years) the amount of fish that may be taken in a fishing year is not exceeded in the year; and
 (c) that transferable statutory fishing rights are granted to eligible persons; and
 (d) that the requirements of section 12 are met; and
 (e) that effective strategies are in place to ensure that stocks of any depleted fish resources are being rebuilt; and
 (f) that the catch of non‑target species is reduced to, or kept at, a minimum, and below a level that will allow stocks of the species to be maintained at ecologically‑sustainable levels; and
 (g) that cost‑effective and high quality research is carried out in relation to the fishery in accordance with a 5‑year strategic research plan, the results of which are:
 (i) included in the assessment process of the fishery; and
 (ii) published in the assessment reports of the fishery; and
 (iii) taken into consideration in determining the total allowable catch, and other management
