4. Estimating uncertainty in local biomass estimates of toothfish in CCAMLR in Subareas 58.4 and 48.6 research blocks

   differences in Antarctic toothfish biomass estimates using the two different methods suggests that the ... underlying assumptions currently made in one or both of the methods are likely to be invalid. We recommend ... that Working Group consider reviewing assumptions in the CPUE-by-seabed area and the Chapman biomass ... estimation methods at the Research Block scale and prioritise resolving issues in Research Blocks that show ...
