    This Circular provides a history, description and overview of the performance review process of regional fishery bodies (RFBs), and the implementation measures that the RFBs in question have taken, following the reviews. It is an update for, and an expansion upon, FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Circular No. 1072, “Performance Reviews by Regional Fishery Bodies: Introduction, Summaries, Syntheses and Best Practices, Volume I: CCAMLR, CCBST, ICCAT, IOTC, NAFO, NASCO, NEAFC,” written by Marika Ceo, Sarah Fagnani, Judith Swan, Kumiko Tamada and Hiromoto Watanabe. That Circular reviewed seven organizations’ performance reviews, mostly in the Atlantic Ocean, in 2012. The first part of this report offers an overview of the evolution of independent performance reviews in international fisheries management. It describes the spread of the practice between RFBs, the typical composition of performance review panels, their average timetables, cost and methodology. It also describes the criteria to which fisheries bodies are held to in the reviews. In the second part, the Circular studies performance reviews completed by the nineteen RFBs that, at the time of publication, have engaged in the performance review process. The report gives basic information about each RFB, then summarizes the factual findings and recommendations of the reviews. Finally, the report recounts the efforts that each RFB has made in order to implement the recommendations of its performance reviews.

    After introduction and background (Part 1), this publication contains a compendium of the Executive Summaries of performance reviews conducted by the Commission of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT), the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO), the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation O rganization (NASCO) and the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) in Part 2. It is followed by the synthesis of performance reviews and recommendations, which could be shared as potential best practices for future based on the experience of all performance reviews covered in this volume. While preparing this volume, additional performance reviews have been conducted on several RFBs, which are expected to be covered in the second volume of this document for the same purpose . Those two volumes of documents are expected to serve as at-aglance reference with regard to performance reviews conducted by RFBs.
