A multiple-frequency method for identifying and assessing the Antarctic krill stock in the Ross Sea (1989/90, 1997/98 and 1999/2000)
Abstract: The paper describes the criteria, based on the multiple frequency analysis, used in the ... Italian expeditions to the Ross Sea to discriminate Euphausia superba (krill) aggregations from Euphausia ... crystallorophias ones and from other scatters. They are based on the experimental data acquired in the expeditions ... applied to estimate krill biomass in the area of Ross Sea (22000 nm2), investigated from 19 to 26 December ...

Exploring age and growth dynamics of a historically overfished Sub-Antarctic fish species: The grey rockcod (Lepidonotothen squamifrons) in the vicinity of Heard Island and McDonald Island
Abstract: The grey rockcod (Lepidonotothen squamifrons) was fished to commercial extinction on ... the Kerguelen Plateau by unregulated fishing during the 1970s/80s. Since the mid-1990s little work has ... been performed to assess the status of this species within the Heard Island and McDonald Island region ... 24. Through the mapping of abundances the presence of three distinct geographical populations were ...

Quantifying the impacts of ice on demersal longlining in CCAMLR Subarea 88.1 with updated information on the 2014/15 season
Abstract: The effect of sea ice is acknowledged as a major influence on fishing operations in ... fisheries research and management. A retrospective analysis over a 15 year period up to the 2013/14 season ... was presented in WG-FSA-14/55 to quantify the level of impact that ice conditions have on fishing by ... creating an annual fishability index. We update the analysis for the 2015 season, a challenging ice year ...

A Risk Assessment and ancillary approaches to facilitate the management of the krill fishery as envisaged by WG-EMM-2019
Abstract: WG-EMM-2019 mapped out a revised management strategy which provides the highest ... likelihood that CCAMLR will be able to update its management of the krill fishery in subareas 48.1-4 by the ... time CM 51-07 expires. A key element of this procedure is the extension of the Risk Assessment to ... enable catches to be distributed across the area taking account of estimated predator demand. We request ...

A single-area stock assessment model of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in the Ross Sea for the 2004/05 season
model for Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in the Ross Sea (Subareas 88.1 and SSRUs 88.2A–B ... ). A range of model sensitivities were examined, with the base case assuming the Ross Sea fishery as a ... , slope, and north). Model fits to the data were adequate, with the tag-release and recapture data ... providing the most information on stock size. Monte-Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) diagnostics suggested some ...

The rate of incidental mortality of birds in the IUU longline fishery in Subarea 48.3
Abstract: Information on the rates of incidental mortality of birds experienced by IUU vessels is ... extremely difficult to obtain. CCAMLR has, in the past, used data from the 1997 legitimate fishery, when a ... large number of birds were caught and when the implementation of mitigation measures was low, to ... approximate the IUU situation. This paper describes analyses undertaken using the 1997 data to refine the ...
