The deep sea fishing effort deployed (in terms of
kilowatt days absent from port) shall not exceed 90% of the
fishing effort deployed by vessels holding deep sea species
permits on trips in which they caught deep sea species in
2003. This will be monitored centrally by Fisheries
Departments. Every trip in which a vessel with a deep sea
permit catches deep sea species shall be counted against
the total kilowatt days available. For 2005 there is an
effort cap of 13,955,065 kilowatt days.
Once the cap has been reached the fishery will be
closed to all vessels. A graph showing the effort
deployed in 2003, 2004 and 2005 to date is shown below:
