Preliminary assessment of the South Georgia toothfish stock, 2007
Abstract: 1. The catch-at-length based CASAL model for toothfish at South Georgia is updated with ... data from the 2007 fishing season. The predicted spawning stock biomass and the yield is slightly ... higher than was estimated last year. 2. Improvements are made to the fit of tag data through (a ... estimates of catches at age from 1998 to 2006 (based on random sampling of the catch for age determination ...

Seabird mortality in the Japanese tuna longline fishery around Australia, 1988–1995
Abstract: Large numbers of seabirds are killed each year within the Australian Fishing Zone (AFZ ... ) by Japanese longline vessels targeting tuna. In recent years the estimated rate of seabird bycatch in ... the AFZ has been in the order of 0.15 birds 1000 hooks, translating to mortalities of 1000-3500 birds ... observed hauled aboard the vessels.

ANTARCTIC FUR SEAL PUP PRODUCTION AND POPULATION TRENDS IN THE SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SOURCES OF ERROR IN PUP PRODUCTION ESTIMATES
Abstract: This paper reports the results of a ground survey of fur seal colonies from in the ... confidence limits on pup production. Total pup production was 7,602 (±103) pups down 24.4% from the last ... census in 2001/02 (10,057 ±142 pups born). Dead pups accounted for 1.64% of the total. A comparison with ... previous censuses over a 20yr period (1987, 1992, 1994, and 1996) indicates the rate of increase in fur ...

Further development of a spatially explicit population dynamics operating model for Antarctic toothfish in the Ross Sea region
model for Antarctic toothfish over the entire Ross Sea region, for a medium scale spatial resolution ... (189 spatial cells) covering the Ross Sea region. The model was developed as a generalised Bayesian ... population dynamics model implemented using the Spatial Population Model software (SPM), and a single sex age ... appeared to broadly reflect the hypothesised spatial distribution of Antarctic toothfish, suggesting that ...
