1. REVISED AGE AND GROWTH ESTIMATES FOR ANTARCTIC STARRY SKATE, AMBLYRAJA GEORGIANA, FROM THE ROSS SEA

   Abstract:  A previous study on the age and growth of Amblyraja georgiana in the Ross Sea suggested that these skates initially grow very rapidly for about five years, after which growth almost ceases (Francis and Ó Maolagáin, 2005). We present an alternative interpretation of age and growth in A.

6. UPDATED PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF AN ECOLOGICAL RISK ASSESSMENT FOR SEABIRDS AND MARINE MAMMALS WITH RISK OF FISHERIES INTERACTIONS

   Abstract:  We examined a methodology for assessing potential risk of interactions between fisheries and species of special interest (seabirds and marine mammals) by applying a Productivity-Susceptibility Analysis to a data set of species distribution, biological information and fishing effort. This
