the area of the fishery; and
 (c) the allocation, by 1 March of each fishing year, of monitoring responsibilities to statutory fishing right holders in proportion to the numbers of statutory fishing rights they are likely to hold at the beginning of that fishing year.
 (3) In developing and implementing a fisheries assessment plan, AFMA must:
 (a) consult, and have regard to the views of, the MAC, the RAG and the holders of statutory fishing rights; and
 (b) have regard to the 5‑year strategic research plan mentioned in paragraph 7 (1) (g).
Part 2 Total allowable catch

10 Reference points
 (1) As soon as practicable after this Management Plan comes into force, AFMA must determine, for each target species, reference points that are appropriate for maintaining ecologically viable stocks of the target species and an ecologically sustainable fishery.
 (2) Each year, AFMA may review the reference points set under subsection (1) to ensure that they remain appropriate for maintaining ecologically viable stocks of the target species and an ecologically sustainable fishery.
11 Determination of total allowable catch
 (1) Before the beginning of each fishing year, AFMA must determine the total allowable catch for each species of fish for the fishing year.
 (2) Before the beginning of each fishing year, AFMA may determine a limit to the amount of any other species (including a limit that is a total for a number of species) that may be taken from the fishery in the fishing year.
 (3) Before deciding the total allowable catch and any other catch limits for a fishing year, AFMA:
 (a) must take into account:
 (i) the total allowable catch (if any) set by CCAMLR; and
 (ii) the reference points determined under section 10; and
 (b) must consult, and consider the views of, the MAC and the RAG.
 (4) Before the beginning of each fishing year, AFMA must give to the holder of each statutory fishing right a notice stating:
 (a) the total allowable catch for the species to which the right relates for the fishing year; and
 (b) the quota allocated to the right for the fishing year; and
 (c) any catch limits for other species that may be taken from the fishery in that fishing year.
11A Determination of fishing capacity
 (1) AFMA must determine the minimum quota for trawl methods, expressed as a percentage of statutory fishing rights, for a fishing year.
 (2) The determination:
 (a) may apply to one or more fishing years; and
 (b) for a determination that applies to one fishing year, must be made before the start of that fishing year; and
 (c) for a determination that applies to more than one fishing year, must be made before the start of the
