Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery

Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery Resource Assessment Group (SESSFRAG)

SESSFRAG develops the Strategic Research Plan. SESSRAG initiates, reviews and critiques research proposals and research results where relevant to the SESSF. SESSFRAG advice is considered by SETMAC , GHATMAC, GABMAC and the AFMA Commission. SESSFRAG also considers data from the Integrated Scientific Monitoring Program (ISMP).

SESSFRAG meets twice a year holding a planning meeting and a plenary session. The plenary session is of 2 days duration and considers each quota species based on advice from individual RAGs and other relevant information. SESSRAG also holds separate meetings to address specific issues.

SESSRAG has five smaller assessment groups reporting to it, these being ShelfRAG, SlopeRAG DeepRAG, SharkRAG and GABRAG.
