Abstract
 Standardised reports of the quantity and representativeness of observer sampling were developed for all
 
deepwater stocks, and the key fisheries for each of these stocks. The reports are designed to be updated
 
annually, with the methods described here.
 
Use of the observer reports will assist in planning stock assessment projects and identifying situations
 
where further sampling is required. The reports should also promote more efficient tendering and
 
delivery of stock assessment research because researchers will have a clearer picture of the available
 
data.
 
A separate trip-level reporting template was also implemented, to assist the Observer Programme with
 
monitoring of observer sampling at a finer scale.
