4. Sampling toothfish from longlines with unequal probabilities

   Abstract:  To obtain a representative sample of the catch taken by toothfish longliners, CCAMLR ... observers are recommended to sample a quota of the first 30 fish that are caught during a sampling session ... . Since toothfish are often aggregated on a line, this means that fish within aggregations are sampled ... number of baskets taken while hauling a line, observers can use this to establish a point at which to ...

5. Estimating fishing gear selectivity for Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) caught by trawlers on the Heard Island plateau region (Division 58.5.2) using trawl and longline length frequency data and forward-calculated continuation ratios

   (Dissostichus eleginoides) on the Heard Island Plateau (Division 58.5.2) was modelled as a 3-segment linear ... selectivity and a plateau section in between for the length range where fish are assumed fully selected. Using ... -2005 the upper arm of the gear selectivity function for trawlers is estimated using a two-stage process ... . In the first stage I estimate a parameter for each 40 mm wide length bin from the fit of a binomial ...
