The ICNAF Annual Report, formerly called Annual Proceedings, was issued annually and
normally contained (a) the administrative report for the fiscal year (1 July to 30 June),
(b) the reports of Commission meetings held during the fiscal year, and (c) summaries of
research and status of fisheries for the preceding calendar year. Up to Vol. 11, the Annual
Proceedings also contained research reports, which were subsequently transferred to Redbook
Part II, and selected papers from the annual meetings, which were transferred to Research
Bulletin or Redbook Part III, depending on the quality of the papers. In addition to the
regular issue of Vol. 11 for the year 1960/61, a special supplement to Vol. 11 was issued in
1962, containing the "Report of the Working Group of Scientists on Fishery Assessment in Relation
to Regulation Problems"
After Vol. 11, the Annual Proceedings was relegated to the role of presenting the reports noted in (a) to (c) above, except that Vol. 15 contains a special report entitled "Review of Possible Conservation Action for the ICNAF Area", and Vol. 17 contains the "Report of the Working Group on Joint Biological and Economic Assessment of Conservation Actions". Commencing with Vol. 23, this publication was renamed Annual Report.
