Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1

Regulation 302/2009
Article 7 paragraph 3

Bluefin tuna fishing by bait boats and trolling boats shall be permitted in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean during the period from 1 July to 31 October. Notwithstanding the previous sub- paragraph, for the years 2014 and 2015, and since it does not affect the protection of the spawning grounds, Member States may specify, in their annual national fishing plans, a different starting date for baitboats and trolling boats flying their flag and operating in the eastern Atlantic, while keeping the total duration of the open season for these fisheries in line with the provisions of the previous sub- paragraph.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1 a (new)

Regulation (EC) No. 302/2009
Article 24 a (new)

(1a) The following article shall be inserted: Article 24a Use of stereoscopic cameras during caging operations The use of stereoscopic cameras systems in the context of caging operations shall be conducted in accordance with the following: 1. The sampling intensity of live fish shall not be below 20% of the amount of fish being caged. When technically possible, the sampling of live fish shall be sequential, by measuring one in every five specimens. Such a sample should be made up of fish measured at a distance between 2 and 8 meters from the camera. 2. The dimensions of the transfer gate connecting the donor cage and the receiving cage shall be set at maximum width of 10 meters and maximum height of 10 meters. 3. When the length measurements of the fish present a multi-modal distribution (two or more cohorts of distinct sizes), it shall be possible to use more than one conversion algorithm for the same caging operation. The most up to date algorithm(s) established by SCRS shall be used to convert fork lengths into total weights, according to the size category of the fish measured during the caging operation. 4. Validation of the stereoscopical length measurements shall be undertaken prior to each caging operation using a scale bar at a distance of 2 and 8 m. 5. When the results of the stereoscopical program are communicated, the information shall indicate the margin of error inherent to the technical specifications of the stereoscopic camera system, which shall not exceed +/- 5 percent. 6. All the technical specifications above, including the sampling intensity, the way of sampling, the distance from the camera, the dimensions of the transfer gate, algorithms (length-weight relationship) shall be reviewed by the SCRS at its 2014 meeting, and if necessary modified based on SCRS recommendations at the 2014 ICCAT Commission annual meeting.
