Preliminary assessment of mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari, on the Heard Island Plateau (Division 58.5.2) based on a survey in April–May 2003
approximately 20% of the 2002 estimate. This decline in abundance is consistent with the passage of the strong ... 1997 cohort through the population and relatively weak recruitment in 1999 and 2000. The 1+ fish ... evident in the survey were not fully sampled and as such are not included in the assessment. Estimates of ... in recruitment, natural mortality and growth of these fish, combined with the need to maintain a ...
