INSTRUCTION SHEET

This form is to be issued by the State/Fishing Entity that holds the national quota allocation against which these SBT have been taken.
This form (CMF) must accompany all transhipments, landings of domestic product, exports, imports and re-exports of SBT, and a copy of this form must be provided
to the issuing State/Fishing Entity. The only exception is that exportation/import of fish parts other than the meat (i.e. head, eyes, roe, guts, tails) may be allowed
without this document. Please note that:
•	 For farms, Farm Stocking Form(s) must have been produced by the State/Fishing Entity for all SBT on the CMF and the document number of those Farm 	
Stocking Form(s) must be recorded on the CMF.

numbers of these Catch Tagging Form(s) must be recorded on the CMF.
If a language other than one of the CCSBT official languages (English and Japanese) is used in completing the form, please add the English or Japanese translation on the Document.
The Catch Monitoring Form has 3 main sections: (1) Catch/Harvest; (2) Intermediate Product Destination; and (3) Final Product Destination. The Catch/Harvest and Final Product Destination
