Preliminary assessment of mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari, in the vicinity of Heard Island and McDonald Islands (Division 58.5.2), based on a survey in May–June 2006 using the Generalised Yield Model
Abstract: A survey of mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari, was undertaken in Division ... short-term annual yield in the 2006/2007 CCAMLR season. This paper provides a preliminary assessment of ... yield for the area of Division 58.5.2 to the west of 79°20’ E using standard CCAMLR methods.

Can we use discriminant function analysis to sex penguins prior to calculating an index of a morphometric parameter?
sex of individuals, it is only able to correctly sex a certain proportion of birds. Two overlapping ... normal distributions are used to show that there is a difference between the real mean parameter for a ... . Combining all data for both sexes is considered as a procedure for avoiding the necessity of sex ... knowledge about the sex ratio between years makes combining the data a very doubtful procedure and use of a ...
