The Thirty-fifth Annual Meeting of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR-XXXV) was held in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, from 17 to 28 October 2016. It was chaired by Mr V. Titushkin (Russian Federation).

The Commission noted that SCIC had considered a number of issues related to the Catch Documentation Scheme for Dissostichus spp. (CDS), including the implementation of the CDS, the non-Contracting Party (NCP) Engagement Strategy, the trade data analysis and the outcomes of the electronic web-based CDS (e-CDS) workshop (Annex 6, paragraphs 101 5 to 136). The Commission endorsed SCIC’s recommendation in relation to Seychelles’ status as an NCP cooperating with CCAMLR by participating in the CDS (Annex 6, paragraphs 108 to 112) and in relation to Singapore’s status as an NCP cooperating with CCAMLR by monitoring toothfish trade through limited access to the e-CDS (Annex 6, paragraphs 113 and 114). The Commission also endorsed the advice of SCIC to grant Ecuador the status of an NCP cooperating with CCAMLR by monitoring toothfish trade through limited access to the e-CDS (Annex 6, paragraph 115). The Commission also endorsed the terms of reference for an external trade and market specialist (Annex 6, paragraph 128).
