verify, analyse and manage data that is related to the management of the fishery, including data about:
 (i) the catch and the effort required to achieve the catch; and
 (ii) the biological and ecological state of the fishery; and
 (iii) the technical and economic issues related to fishing in the fishery;
 (d) publishing and biennially reviewing the data plan mentioned in paragraph (c);
 (e) if relevant information about the fishery is received — reviewing ecological risk assessments of marine communities, primary species and secondary species to determine the risk to the maintenance of an ecologically sustainable fishery;
 (f) developing, in cooperation with stakeholders, a plan to strategically address any high risks identified during an ecological risk assessment;
 (g) setting catch limits, or designing other measures, for species of fish that are managed under State or Territory law;
 (h) periodically taking into account the impact of the fishery on primary species, secondary species, by‑catch species and ecologically‑related species, and the marine environment:
 (i) reviewing and, if necessary, improving the reference points for stocks of primary species and secondary species; and
 (ii) determining the status of stocks in relation to the reference points for the stocks, by conducting stock assessments, risk assessments or both; and
 (iii) developing, publishing and applying decision rules for setting the TACC and any other related management decisions; and
 (iv) reviewing, evaluating and, if necessary, improving the decision rules mentioned in subparagraph (iii); and
 (v) implementing, reviewing and, if necessary, updating the by‑catch action plan and any other action plans;
 (i) setting the TACC for each year that is needed to manage the fishery in an ecologically sustainable manner, based on:
 (i) information given by the advisory committee and other interested Australian and international bodies; and
 (ii) the total estimated catch by the commercial, recreational, indigenous and any other users of the fishery; and
 (iii) information about the sustainability of marine species in the area of the fishery; and
 (iv) the reference points set for the stocks of any quota species; and
 (v) any decision rule used for the setting of the TACC; and
 (vi) the precautionary principle; and
 (vii) any decision made by the Minister or an intergovernmental Ministerial Council about resource sharing in the fishery;
 (j) granting quota SFRs (and, for a period, boat SFRs) to eligible persons;
 (k) in relation to a primary species that is not a quota species, annually determining whether the species should be subject to a quota, and if it should, commencing the process to make the species subject to a quota;
 (l) setting up a research program to support the management of the fishery during the first year of the Management Plan, annually reviewing the program and, if necessary, improving
